Which camera takes good photos and videos like these? - 1

I'm looking for an awesome camera(DSLR/SLR) that's under $800 and takes amazing photos like this
pic:

i know that the pic was edited but i'm a pro at photoshop so that shouldnt be a problem. I'm just looking for a camera best for personal/ family photoshoots for a trip that i'm going on for 6 months.

and can record a video that is clear like this

or anything close?

I was looking at a Nikon d3100 but i wasn't sure if it did a good job which is why i'm asking.

Any DSLR would be good and will take photos like those. The D3100 is a great entry-level camera and is capable of shooting excellent quality clear and crisp shots. I'd say go with it and invest in some good lenses because that's what matters more. I suggest you read this user review to help you in making a decision:

You can get a good deal for it on here:

And since you seem to be interested in taking portraits mainly, the lens i'd suggest for you is this one:

And the best most inexpensive travel lens is this one:

Nice photo that any Canon or Nikon dslr will do. Except the thing you're not considering is there's lots of editing done to that shot - you can see it all through the shot.

The video is very nice as well but if you want a camera that'll do that it's at least $2, 500 or more because that's probably a professional level video camera, in a studio. There's not a consumer level camera that will shoot that broadcast quality… And certainly not for $800.

There's plenty of good video cameras out there, of course, but they're not studio quality. There's also plenty of good editing programs available, some over $500 so if you've got the cash…
