On Facebook I saw a picture of a camera by either Samsung or Sony. It was touch screen and could go on instagram. Is it a real camera?!?!?!!!

Um, you dont "love photography". Not trying to be rude. You might like to take pictures, but when you describe a camera as "not a big lens one" and "just want a camera that takes amazing photoshopped like photos" then you dont love photography. It is not the camera that makes the "nice photoshopped like photos" its how you take it. And you didnt give a price range. Just go to best buy, tell them what you want, and they will set you up with a nice social point and shoot

I'm a bit appalled by this particular question; for one, you simply cannot love photography and then not know anything about it.
You'd need to study shutter speed, aperture, ISO, manual focus, lenses, metering, the rule of thirds, composition, the horizontal rule, depth of field, light metering, and so on. You'd also need a creative mind because: "It is not the camera that takes the pictures, but the photographer who does."
I'd recommend that you use Photoshop only after you learn how to operate a camera, be it a point-and-shoot camera or a DSLR one.
A good beginning camera can be the Fujifilm point-and-shoot, the Kodak point-and-shoot, or the Olympus DSLR, which was my beginning DSLR. I now use a Nikon D3100, though I improved immensely by using the Olympus DSLR.

Wait... Really?
Kids thinking they are photographers even more thanks to Instagram.
Zooming, not matter how cool it may seem, is not even close to being important when it comes to legitimate photography. One who "love(s) photography" would know that. Also, the camera does not "take amazing pictures," the photographer does that.
But this is probably something like the camera you saw.

It runs on Android, so I am sure you could get IG. There are a plethora of photo editing apps to you in "making every picture look amazing and photoshoped(like pretty)." (sic)
Knock yourself out, kid.
