Nikon D3X. But it's around $8,000 USD. If you want something slightly more reasonable, but still top-of-class, check out the Nikon D3S instead, it's "only" $5,000 USD instead -- and only 12.1 megapixels (vs. 24.5 megapixels in the D3X).

The Nikon D700 compares pretty favorably to the Canon 5D Mark II that Brett mentioned. It shoots a little faster, has insane ISO sensitivity, a weather-proof body (unlike the Canon), but has a lower resolution (12.1 megapixels) and does not shoot video (5D Mark II can shoot 1080p and it's pretty amazing).

I still think that the Canon 5D Mark II ( gdgt.com­/canon­/eos­/5d­/mark­-ii/ ) is the best one out there right now. Most of the professional photographers that I know use them for everything from shooting weddings to shooting interiors or landscapes.

Additionally, Canon's lens selection has always been top notch and I just recently saw some shots with a 100mm Macro lens that Canon makes; they were some of the sharpest images I have ever seen.

Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?
