Camera?

Sea Oats · March 2010

I got into photography at school for next year.. and we have to buy our own 35mm film, NOT DIGITAL, camera. Ones I've found -start- at like $500. HALP!

I'd really love a Nikon.. but they're so expensive. Anyone have any other good brands I could look into that maybe don't cost as much? xD

Go to a camera store. Usually they'll have some film cameras that people sell back to them

Oooh, you're gonna take film? How exciting! I had to take it this year (am still in it, in fact) xD I use my dad's old Minolta... Looks like they are about 60$ or so. I can ask my dad when he gets home ;D He'd know better which film cameras are good or not. Im into digital.. I know hardly anything about film. But I do love my dad's film camera that I've been using. I just dont know what model or anything that it is xD Film will be a lot of fun

I agree. This is your best option to get a good one for cheap this time of year. I also think there are some places where you can rent cameras. If you have a camera store near you try asking them if they do rentals, or if they know a place that does.

I'd let you borrow mine. It's a Big Viewfinder Date 60AF 35mm Fujifilm camera, but it's pretty big and doesn't have zoom. Plus, I'm scrapbooking at the moment. What kind do you need, in specifics? Or could it be any sort of 35mm camera? <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Y4RX4HBCL.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">this</a> is what it looks like... Like I said, no zoom...And its about... 20-30 years old, so it's not brand new, but all and all it's a good camera.

My nana offered to let me borrow hers, it's a Canon, but I'd really rather have my own because if I lose it or it gets broken or stolen, I don't have to worry about someone being mad at me. xD Thanks, though.

My grandfather owned a Canon when he was a photographer. He sold it and his Polaroid, both of which I would've liked to use for yearbook. Mmm...Amazon, eBay, or sometimes yardsales/flea markets will have them for cheap?

My DSLR is a Canon. I have nothing but good things to say about it. Check out pawn shops too.

Howdy, Stranger!
