Inexpensive good quality cameras? - 1
My grandma has a nikon cool-pics and it is one of those "professional" cameras. I'm absolutely in love with the pictures it takes. I'm look for a camera like that for myself - but don't want to spend a lot of money. And the thing that makes me like the pictures the nikon takes is that the back round is blurry while the main focus is extremely clear. Any camera that will give me those results but is inexpensive?
What exactly is "inexpensive?"
Your grandma owns a DSLR (i.e. "proffesional camera"). They are quality cameras but it won't take good photos unless the photographer knows what they're doing.
However, DSLRs start at about $500 and they only go up from there.
As for having your subject in focus, and the background being blurry (although in reality, it's out of focus, not blurry), that is called shallow depth-of-field. Essentially, you can get shallow DOF on any camera, although it's more difficult to get on some than others.
Since you didn't include your budget or any features/specs you want, I would suggest using the link below to find a camera that suits your needs. You can narrow it down by many different factors. Just be sure to click on "Show advanced search filters."

If the price of the camera isn't already listed on the site above, you can check the prices at B&H (link below).It's also a good place to buy, if you plan on buying online, of course.
Actually there aren't any. Small cameras are cheaply made, as you should be able to tell by the price. You can't get a full size suv at a VW price, it will never happen. High technical quality, high money.
Get another camera just like your grandma's. If you can't find one, get the Nikon Coolpix P500. Although it is highly possible to earn money with such a camera, it is in no way classified for "professional use".
