Camera + Poor College Student = Help?

Question: Camera + Poor College Student = Help!?

So I recently have become interested in photography and was wondering what type of camera could take amazing pictures but fall under a poor college students budget!? I have an older camera now and the pictures result in a resolutionless mess!.

also what are your thoughts on the Diana Dreamer camera!? I was thinking of purchasing one just for fun!

Thanks for all of your help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Diana Dreamer is essentially a Holga in prettier colors!. Some wonderful images can be created with the Holga, and I'm sure the Diana as well, If you're not opposed to the simple black version, you can get the Holga for half the price from various camera stores, or even Ebay!.

An SLR camera is really the best type of camera for photography!. Either 35mm, or digital!. 35mm SLRs can be found used for really reasonable prices, as well as some of the older digitals!. Don't be discouraged by smaller pixel sizes, anything with 5mp is plenty, unless you plan on blowing up your images to poster sizes!. Even 35mm can be scanned to a cd, if you prefer to edit your images on the computer!. Most film processing stores will automatically offer to scan your film for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Look on craigslist in a city near you for a Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR!. They can be found for under $200 with a lens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
