Any suggestions on 35mm SLR cameras for beginners?
My daughter is in art/photography 101 and needs a 35mm SLR. What brands or models would you recommend? Is a used camera worth it vs brand new?
Thanks for all the education! I ended up buying a used Canon Eos and kit with 3 decent lenses for her pod, and tripod for $250. So that should start her with SLR's I have already invested in several Digital Cameras for her. I'll buy new once this Camera Body wears out. Thanks again so many good answers I can't choose. Thanks to you all and let's put it up to a vote!
A used camera leaves you with a budget for lenses. In that area, I'd suggest Nikon or Canon, as they have the largest support systems and lens selections, including 3rd party lens makers.
If she's looking at film 35mm SLR's, I'd look for the Nikon FM series as it's a solid all-metal manual metering, manual Focus Camera. The current version is the FM-10 and it sells for under $250 with lens. The N-series camera are of lighter build, but have full automatic options.
If she's looking at digital, I'd look at a used D70 or D50. I have two D70's myself and just recently bought a D50. These two models are well constructed and will work with Nikon lenses, both current digital and film versions.
One more piece of information for you to read.
