Question:

What kind of camera?

I'm taking a photography class at a local community college...but i don't know what kind of camera to get...

i need a 35mm S.L.R. Camera but what does that mean?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A 35mm SLR is your basic kind of camera for beginners who want to do serious photography. Has your teacher actually told you to buy a camera? If not then it might be possible for you to borrow a camera from them. A 35mm SLR is not a basic point and click type of camera. It is a camera which you use to focus, meter the light, and shoot by controlling how much light you use.
