Answer by Forlorn Hope
the camera is immaterial… the camera is a tool… the “professional” shots come from a photographer who knows what they are doing and hve developed exceptional photography skills…
Answer by fhotoace
Any fully adjustable camera can do that.
What is important are you skills using those cameras
From you question it is clear you have yet to learn some of the fundamentals of photography
Why?
Shooting professional photographs takes years of both education and experience.
Shooting the dew on leaves will require a special lens. Those lenses are called macro lenses and usually cost more than an entry level dSLR.
Shooting landscapes requires a wide angle lens, again they cost more than the camera
You can start the process of learning how to use a fully adjustable camera by purchasing a Nikon D3200 or Canon 600D/T3i with the standard 18-55 mm lens that is included in their cost (under $ 700)

It is not the camera which gives you “very professional photographs”, it is the skills and experience of the person using it.
Get any of the current crop of Dslrs and learn photography properly.

What make is your ‘good old fashioned film’ camera? If it’s Pentax get a Pentax DSLR all your collection of lenses will work as designed on it, all will be image stabilised as it’s built into the camera body, they use the latest sensors which make a visible difference especially in low light (as do the Nikon D7000 and the Sony Nex-7 – same sensor). They won’t have auto focus of course, but they will meter correctly. They will work exactly as you have always used them.
If we knew what cameras you already have we could advise better.
What everybody else says about the camera being just an image recording device is, as you know, true. A good camera doesn’t make you a Pro photographer. In the same way that owning a Steinway piano doesn’t make you a concert pianist.

If your old film cameras are Nikon then look for a Nikon DSLR like the D3200 or D5100 or D7000 and you can use the Nikon lenses you already own whether they are manual focus or auto focus.
If your old film cameras are Minolta Maxxum AF models then look for a Sony DSLR like the a37, a57, a65 or a77 and you can use the Minolta Maxxum AF lenses you already own. Your Maxxum lenses will auto focus and meter as they should on any of the Sony models listed.
If your old film cameras are Canon EOS AF models then look for a Canon DSLR like the T3, T1i, T2i, T3i, T4i or 60D and you can use the Canon AF lenses you already own.
If your old film cameras are Pentax models then look for a Pentax DSLR like the K-30, K-5 or K-R and you can use the Pentax lenses you already own whether they are manual focus or auto focus.
However, if your old film cameras are Canon or Minolta or Olympus manual focus models there are no DSLR cameras that use the old Canon FD lens mount or the old Minolta SR lens mount or the old Olympus OM lens mount.
I didn’t mention any of the full-frame (the sensor is the same size as a 35mm film frame) DSLR models from Nikon or Canon because you failed to tell us your budget. The models I did mention are all what’s known as “cropped sensor” cameras – the sensor is smaller than a 35mm film frame so you’d have to get used to the “crop factor” which is used to compute the equivalent angle of view of a lens on a “cropped sensor” DSLR to a lens on a 35mm film camera.
On Sony, Pentax and Nikon the “crop factor is 1.5x. A 24mm wide angle lens on any of them will have the equivalent angle of view of a 35mm wide angle lens (actually its 36mm but that isn’t a focal length ever manufactured to my knowledge) on your 35mm film camera.
On a Canon “cropped sensor” DSLR the “crop factor” is 1.6x so a 24mm wide angle lens on any of the models I listed will have the equivalent angle of view of a 38.4mm lens on your 35mm film camera.
So when using any of the Sony, Pentax, Nikon or Canon “cropped sensor” DSLR models you’ll have to back up some to include as much of the scene as you’d get using the same focal length on your 35mm cameras.
Of course all of the above is moot IF you have the budget for a full-frame DSLR like the Nikon D700 or D800 or D3X or D4 or the Canon 5D Mark II or 5D Mark III or 1D X. Sad to say but currently Sony and Pentax don’t offer a full-frame DSLR although there are rumors of the Sony a920 full-frame DSLR being introduced in August 2012. Rumors of a Pentax full-frame DSLR have been circulating for about 2 years but so far nothing has come of them.
Of course, its also possible that after you begin looking at the prices of DSLR cameras and the lenses for them you just might decide that your vintage 35mm film cameras are worth keeping and using.
Be sure a lot better?
