I want a fancy camera that isn't over $600. I want it to be digital and have an amazing zoom and close up picture ability. I also want it to be able to record video too.

Answer
With that price your fancy camera could actually become one of the digital SLR cameras.

One is $40 above your budget but real great is Nikon D3000

but if you want to save budget, actually these $100-$300 cameras will do the tasks just fine for amateur photography.

I'm going on my Washington DC trip later on this month and my class of 2011 will be the first class in my school that actually gets to go inside the White House. I'm just wondering if we had a camera, are we allow to take pictures?

Answer
Nope:

"Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, the following: handbags, book bags, backpacks, purses, food and beverages of any kind, strollers, cameras, video recorders or any type of recording device"
