Trouble choosing DSLR?
I am taking a photography class next semester and I am having trouble choosing the type of camera I want. Here is the class description:
"Introduction to photography as a science, a tool, and an art form. Mechanical as well as creative controls on the camera will be discussed in detail and will establish methods for creative outcomes. Students will be able to use either a Digital Camera or a Film Camera to achieve the objectives of the course. Students must own or have use of a fully adjustable Digital Camera or a 35mm, fully adjustable SLR camera. Six hours lecture/lab combination."
Any suggestions?

Hey,
SLRs are cheaper, you can get a good camera, Canon A1 or AE-1 for about 150$. Some older Prakticas are even cheaper, but most of them do not have light meters.
DSLRs are ofcourse, more expensive. For beginners, I recommend these (400D,1000D,450D, D3000D,D5000, D80 or D90).
I have an article on my blog about what to decide before buying a DSLR (price, megapixels, brand, features, most important etc), and you can read it here: http://the-digital-photographer.blogspot.com/2009/...
