This is for my dad who has no camera at all, and wants a more simple one, (digital but not with different lenses, etc.) He does lots of work outside training dogs and would want to capture that, so it needs to be able to capture the dogs when they are running. I am looking at the canon powershot. how is that? any others you can suggest?

Next year, I'm gonna be taking photography 1 and basic video classes (electives) and I wanted to know what some good, affordable cameras would be?
I was looking at the flipcam but I'm pretty sure it doesn't take photos so that wouldn't really work.
Thanks.

Photography "1" will require you to use a fully adjustable camera.
This requirement will eliminate any P&S cameras and bridge cameras
At a minimum, you will need an entry level dSLR (figure around $600)
Shooting video can be a little less expensive. For under $200, you can buy a nice Full HD video cameras with a 40x optical zoom Look at JVC, Panasonic, Sony and Canon for those
The Flip is no longer made and was never much but a toy. "Flip End of Life and Support

I am surprised that your student adviser has not connected you with the instructors of these two diverse classes so you do NOT waste any money buying the wrong tools you will need to take those classes.
Photography and videography is NOT affordable.
If you can find a class in traditional photography which uses film and making prints in a darkroom, the cameras (35 mm SLR with lens) can cost as little as $100. How much the classes cost will have to do with how many rolls of film you will need to use before you can get near perfect exposures each time you press the shutter release and how long it takes you to start producing amazing prints in the darkroom ... figure another $200 to $300 in supplies.
