If you don’t have the money for the camera you need to shoot fashion or any other professional photography, you may want to either buy a good 35 mm Nikon SLR with standard zoom lens and start shooting with it or just wait until you can afford the tools you need.
35 mm SLR’s are nearly the same in operation as a DSLR and can perform all the tasks that the new DSLR’s do today. After all, for the past 40 years or so, we did not have digital cameras and shot fashion and other advertising assignments quite well.
You can buy a good Nikon 35 mm SLR with lens for under $200 on craigslist … usually less.
Forget using a P&S camera for any photography that requires split second shooting … P&S cameras have what is called shutter lag and it is measured in seconds, from about 0.5 seconds to over three when a flash is involved. SLR and DSLR cameras measure what little lag they have in milliseconds.
It sounds like you have a fashion shoot planned, but you have no equipment and by your question, no experience either.
You may want to cool your jets and at least take a class or two in photography first and learn how to use a camera and what techniques are required to expose, compose and light fashion.
The big boys that shoot fashion use cameras that start at $10,000 and top out at around $40,000 because they already have the lenses they need from the film bodies they have been using for the past ten to fifteen years.

Get the highest model of Nikon COOLPIX you can afford and you will be very happy. Stay away from Sony if you’re looking elsewhere.
Happy photographing!

P.S. And you’ll probably find the best deals on eBay…
For fashion, a good D-SLR is a must. No one accepts film/slides anymore. Your files should be large enough to allow for editing in photoshop without losing detail.
