But you might be surprised - have you checked craigslist? - sometimes you can find really cheap lightly used cameras. But sometimes the difference between new and used is almost nil - as was the case when I was looking at a D40. But canon I think has more used stuff on the market since its more popular. <br /><br />Also frankly I don't know about you, but film got expensive for me REALLY fast. Clearly medium format has advantages on its own, so maybe that justifies its cost - but you can take a LOT more (good) pictures with a dslr for no moneys! I paid $150 to develop and scan - not even print!! - like 250 pictures from Bolivia. For $500 I got my D40 and two lenses. I have taken almost 4000 photos here. and I pay zero!! That's what pushed me over, because I was in the same boat for two years after I lost my high school darkroom access.<br /><br />Food for thought! Anyway, we should go shooting when we're back at school - whatever you're using then =)Ali Babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350408735793610527noreply@blogger.com
