what kinda of camera to buy for professional headshot photography?

I am looking to buy a new camera. My sister is wanting to have headshots done and I love photography so I want these to look very professional. What are the best kinds of cameras to use?

The camera is not as important as the lens. If your budget is limited spend cash on a good lens and the leftover on a more average camera (if you have enough get both ;-) .
Portrait lenses would be as from 50mm on a crop format camera (Nikon D5000, D3000, D90) or 85mm on a full format camera (ie Nikon D700, D3).

Proper lighting and sharpness are also vital. Take pictures in the shade on a sunny day. Or near a window.
