For Julia, who is interested in taking her photography to the next level by experimenting with landscape photographs, special effects, and gaining more control over camera settings, the best camera option would be a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera.

DSLR cameras offer extensive manual control over settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, which will allow Julia to experiment more deeply with her photography. Additionally, DSLRs typically have high-quality image sensors, interchangeable lenses, and a range of accessories that enhance photographic possibilities, making them suitable for her interests in landscapes and special effects.

Point-and-shoot cameras generally have limited manual controls, hybrid cameras offer some features of DSLRs but may not have the same level of control, and format field cameras are typically more specialized and complex, used primarily in large format photography. Therefore, a DSLR would be the best choice for her needs.
