freefalle 0 #2 February 2, 2005 Canon Rebel is a great 35mm camera, I'm really happy with mine, just make sure you get a newer model with the remote input, if thats something you would be looking for. I don't think you can go wrong with Canon. Thats just my personal opinion, there are several good camera's on the market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccurley 1 #5 February 2, 2005 I have a thirty yer old Cannon AT-1, fully manual. It does have a built in light meter but no automatic functions at all. It's fun to use and experiment with different settings and filters but jeepers the cost of developing compared to digital!!!! I think I have no choice economically but to go digital, except for special occasions where I may want enlargements.Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #6 February 2, 2005 I have a Minolta Maxim that I bought in '88 or '89. It's still an excellent camera.

lewmonst 0 #8 February 2, 2005 The rebel is ok, cheap, but i'd upgrade a little with an Elan. Of course, what I'd really do is go digital. I mean, do store still process that film stuff? oh btw, i have an A2E somewhere, if you're interested, i'll sell it cheap. It uses that old film stuff. peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
