Now that everything's done, this is mostly just to show my camera.

* SpreadsPlague points out that the camera you picked out had its price had cut in half, and there's only 1 left in stock

just saying

Yeah, but there are more under the new and used from prices.

If you're not going to be taking an assload of pictures, I would recommend getting a film SLR, only because they are crazy cheap.  I got a body and lens for $50 and another set for $20. 
I took these with a full-auto-only Canon T50: https://picasaweb.google.com/themedival1/T50Roll1?authkey=Gv1sRgCPmg5sHNxPj89gE&feat=directlink
The thing with film, is you're less likely to take 20 shots of one thing, because each shot costs money.  It's kind of a liberating experience, because you're not always checking to see if you got the shot. 

I'd certainly get a film camera, but it'd be a major inconvenience for me, unless I learned to develop film.
Which I would certainly learn, if anyone I knew knew how.
And I would certainly go somewhere else to learn, except that would also be inconvenient.

You can have your photos developed at like Costco or something, there also some companies that you ship your film to and they develop it and send it back.  Color film is hard to develop at home, but its actually cheaper to develop B&W yourself at home, and it's easy.

This is what I've done with my camera so far.
This isn't all I've done, I have a lot more in a folder.
But these are all that're really worth sharing.

Canon EOS is great

Felt like bumping this for no real reason, other than to show what my camera is.



It's like that, except the lens is different, and it doesn't have FM3a printed on it.
