I was looking around my basement and found an older 'Minolta Maxxum 300si' which i know isnt anything special, not even digital, but im no where near a aspiring or even perusing photography, just looking to play around with it, how ever I do like manipulating real life photos with photoshop, so i guess my real question is if i ever found a cool picture I would like to manipulate or edit, Would I have to get the film developed, then scan the photo into the computer?
or would that be a hassel and lose quality, again im not trying to make this into a whole huge spending thing, just a camera that i found that I would like to monkey around with.
thanks for the help guys.

that all depends on your scanner, but yes the quality is normally great
