i dont mean to be funny but what i speacial about those shots?
My 400d can produce that easily.

you do need to have a bit of a clue with how to work the thing but once you star getting out there it becomes easier.

There is nothing technically difficult about those pictures....

All will have had editing in photoshop/simmilar to tweak them to get the effects.

You could get those results with a point and shoot tbh
