What is a really good photography camera that doesn't cost a lot of money?

Q. I have a nikon coolpix digital camera, and another digital camera from a couple years back, but i'm getting more and more interested in taking better quality pictures. I don't have a lot of money to spend on one, so the cheaper, the better. but i still want a good resolution quality and everything else good too. thanks in advance for any help.


Answer
You can find many film cameras for very cheap. Resolution will depend on the film you select and choice of lenses.
And you can have whole setups (camera+lenses) from 50-100 US to no more than 500 US. They will beat any digital setup for the price.
Look into:

- Rangefinders (I still use, from time to time my Canon AE-1P but even the EOS 1V could be found on eBay for ~400 US. The 1V is one of the best 35mm cameras ever made!)
- Medium Format (maybe an old Mamiya?)
- Large Format (try a starter one, maybe an old Crown Graphic or a Wista...)

Options, there are many. If you meant digital, then there is nothing best/cheap. It is sort of linearly dependent. The better they are, the more they cost.

I prefer Canon. It is a personal preference, no need to start the endless battle of which one is better.

-Point and Shoot - G12
-Entry level - 60D or even a Rebel

Suggesting anything above that is pointless because you want cheap.

DPreview lets you compare cameras side by side. It is a very nice tool for people looking to buy a camera

Are SLR and/or DSLR digital cameras the only ones with aperture and shutter priority modes?

I am taking a digital photography class and the syllabus says I need a digital camera with aperture and shutter priority modes. Are SLR and/or DSLR cameras the only ones that have them. Will I have to spend a lot of money in order to get a camera with these modes? Thanks for the help!


Answer
Being a student who ran into this problem a few years ago, I found that I outgrew my advanced point and shoot very quickly. I had a G10 (Canon) and found that I enjoyed it so much that I became seriously involved in photography, and I shot all the time. I changed my major to video production and photojournalism. So yes this is just a personal experience of mine, but in my advice, I would have gone back and got a DSLR. I think being a student it would be wise to go with an entry level Canon like the t3i or the 60D because Canons lens line up is spectacular, (if you have access to an equipment room in this new class). If you need to shoot a video, Canons advancement in HD DSLR is really handy to learn because it is exploding in the video world. Thats somewhat an opinion however. But try stuff out, see what you like, and enjoy your class.
