A cheap 35mm film SLR.

point and shoot or dslr? I suggest a dslr if ur intrested about photography more than just random snap shots.



imo film isnt great to start with, since you cant test so much different settings for one subject and u cant see later what setting you used. Allso film developing and film costs quite alot, unless you develope yourself and then u can get b&w only and need a scanner to scan the negatives.

It would be easier if you say something more.
- Budget?
- Analog or digital?
- Style of photographing?
- Dslr or compact.

I wand a dslr and I am interested not only for a few shots

I think you should pick a Canon like the 400D, 450D or the 1000D. But in may the prices will drop because of the new 500D.

e/ I use the 450D. But ask some of the others. Chantal have the 400D, you can see pictures from that camera in her topics.

200 to 400
digital
beach , gardens ...
dslr

with 400€ u should get 400d with kit lens or cheap nikons. If u want some old cheap manual focus lenses u could go with cheap nikon, but canon has better af(auto focus) lens lineup. Cheap nikons are missing af motor in the body, so u can use autofocus with all lenses, but again for nikon u can get good old manual focus lenses for cheap..

You could get a Sony a200, it is a beginner cam and should teach you all the stuff you need to know, I think it is well within your budget as well.

If you wanna push the boat out (like Antichrist- was saying) i two would get a canon 400d.
