I am considering buying a new camera for my real estate business as well as personal use. It will mostly be used for interior shots so a wide angle lens is essential. Thanks!

Any will do. They are all basically the same. The cheapest right now is a Sony. Around $400. The kit lens will go from wide to short tele, enough for interior shots and general purpose shooting.

I would suggest Nikon D5000.It has a very concise, simple, and easy to use interface. Picture out of it are good quality even in low light. The 18-55mm kit lens is good enough for wide angle shots
Torrance Movies
Nikon D90 DSLR body (built in autofocus motor) or Nikon F5/F6 SLR body(35mm film based) with Nikkor 24mm PC-E (tilt-shift) lens.
Buy a good book on photography to understand about perspective control lenses and how to use them for architecture and interiors.
