Just to let you guys know, this thread has inspired me to get into photography. I've recently acquired Understanding Exposure and I'm nearly done reading it. My friend is taking a photography class at school, and he taught me the basics of using a manual film camera. However, I find that a digital camera will be miles ahead of film in terms of convenience for me. I have yet to actually take any pictures, so I expect a ton of trial & error initially. Plus, digital storage just sounds so much better to me. Anyway, I know digital is quite a bit more expensive, and I'm currently completely broke. I'm looking to get a job right after spring break (which is this week), so in about a month or so I ought to have enough money for a budget camera system. I've done a little research and have a bit of an idea of my options, but what do you guys recommend I get on a very tight budget?
Jeez, this place is horrible for my wallet.
