Help me buy a camera. (please :) )
I've signed up for a photography class at school next quarter. It's something I've wanted to get into for a while, and I finally have some time in my schedule (plus a bit of extra money.) We need to supply our own camera (and film) for the class, and this is where I need help.
I don't really know anything about cameras... all my current photos are taken with disposables. I'd like to get a nice one, but I have a limited budget. It needs to be a 35 mm or a 120. We'll be developing our own film, and it will all be black and white (not sure if that makes any difference, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case it does.)
Right now, I'm planning on $300 or less... but knowing as little about cameras as I do, I don't even know if that's realistic. I can probably go up to $400, and if I need to go higher than that, I could negotiate a loan from my parents (or possibly an early birthday present!)
So. What do you awesome photographers recommend?
