Yeager, welcome to the Hog.
I would recommend a Canon camera. What is your budget? If it's for school fotos, you should go with a Full Frame, like a Canon 5dmkll, but they are not entry level. For school shots, you also need a good flash, preferably a strobe and a tripod.
Give us a Little more info on uses and budget.
Again, welcome.

Wat a surprise Doc ..... don't listen to em ..... you want a real camera, "Nikon"

You must be very new here. This is NOT a question that can be answered! There are many excellent cameras out there (not just Canon and Nikon),including the new Sony A77. But comparing Nikon to Canon is like comparing Toyota to Honda - both companies make exceptionally good products with more in common than differences, and generally people like one because that it what they started with and have had good results. If people take the bait of this question the answers could go on for pages and pages. But most will tell you it is the PHOTOGRAPHER that takes the photograph, not the camera. And in regards to portrait photography, what is probably far more important than which brand of camera to get is what lenses you get!

Nonsense! Go to the Chit-Chat section and you can find out which is the one(?) true god, who is a good politician and who is a bad one, etc. All questions have answers. Of course, if you want a correct answer, well...

OK, OK - I should have said "answered easily" or even "answered correctly". By the way Jerry - have you stopped beating your dog yet? :)

I shoot Nikon because I bought an F long, long ago and have the old lenses. I'm happy with my choice; would I be happy with a Canon? I'm sure I would be. I've seen very fine pictures taken with Sigma's, Sony's, Pentax, Panasonic, etc., etc. After a certain point in capabilities of the machine it's all about the photographer.

Nikon and Canon are not the only camera makers you can consider. You will no doubt get lots of ideas, but I would say why not consider a Micro Four Thirds (M43) camera such as Olympus or Panasonic etc, they are not so bulky and produce excellent results.
