I'm taking a photography course at our community college and the advisor told me i'll need a traditional SLR |
she also explained that there are some cameras that are dgital and slr in one, where you develop your own film or put it on the computer. Can anyone suggest a good camera that does both? There are digital SLRs and film SLRs. A few cameras have interchangeable digital backs (very expensive). AFAIK, there is no 35mm format camera that can do both at once. If by "traditional" your teacher meant film, there are a few film SLRs available new and many many used for pennies on the dollar. I would check www.keh.com for used SLR bodies and a 50mm lens. That combination used to be what every aspiring photographer started out with, and is still a great combo for film. You could get a Nikon F100 in great shape and a 50mm f/1.8 lens for under $400 if you shop carefully. Or a manual Pentax, but it would be older. Your neighborhood camera store might have a good used camera department, or maybe even the pawn shop. Canon still makes the film Rebel, I believe, which you might find at the big box retailer or WallyWorld. Nikon has the reasonably priced FM10 manual camera, (actually made by Cosina) and the flagship F6 which is a few bucks for a beginner to drop on equipment. www.bhphoto.com is a reliable on-line dealer. There is no camera that actually does both. There are cameras with interchangable backs. You can attach a film camera back, then switch to the digital camera back. See an actual camera store for examples. unfortunately there is no such camera that is a combination of both digital and film which it is going to be one or the other. if your instructor had requested a traditional SLR which would be a 35mm SLR and still readily available. You can't shoot film and digital at the same time. A good digitalSRL is the Nikon D40 OR D80 depending on your budget. Your teacher was making a joke...there is no digital/film camera that works. Many have tried, but all have failed. sounds like your alittle confused, dont worry theres alot to learn. traditional SLR means a film camera, if you ever want to be any good you are best to learn film and exposure it will seperate you from all the digital users that dont know what they are doing when you go digital tattoo this on your body - i must learn light and exposure, you learn that and it will out you in the top 1% of camera users, you will be able to make images instead of taking pictures go hard Medium format cameras from such makers has Mamiya and Hasselblad have the ability to shoot either digital or film depending upon the back your are using. However, you will need to invest a minimum of $12,000 into one of these cameras. As you may have been told there are lots of camera designs. SLR or single lens reflex is just one of those designs which allow you to see through the same lens that takes the photo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/single-lens... SLR cameras can be either film or digital, and like I had mentioned some medium format SLRS can shoot either or but not both at the same time. Anyhow what you need is a 35mm SLR or digital SLR. I would suggest buying used perhaps either a used Nikon f5(35mm) or a used Nikon D100(digital). Go to Keh.com and look at what they have. You can even call them and ask one of their reresentatives what they would suggest. Whatever you do, check with your teacher to make sure that the camera you are buying applies to the type of printing they are doing. |
