okay, that's a silly question.
basically, i looked at the list of classes i need to take for school. and at the very bottom, it says "all students will need a 35mm SLR camera". which made me stop and flip out a little.
i'm not a photographer. i don't plan on being a photographer. and i don't think that a 35mm SLR camera is digital. which means it's film. and i've never really used a film camera. now, if i could find an slr that fits the description and is digital, that would be a different story. because i'd use it more. i think.
i also don't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on something that i'm only going to use for a semester. and so far, every camera that fits the requirements is over $300.
can someone help? i don't know what to look for, i don't know the first thing about looking for a camera. i'm used to my little nikon digital one. so i'm asking you, the experts. because i know there are plenty of photographers on here.
