Yellowjeep... you suggest I get a film camera from the W's?? like... W's? Lil. I don't get it. Also, how is a camera plus 9 lenses only like bucks. I guess I just fail to understand. If you could verify, that would be great. Thanks...
Oh, and I just plan on taking any type of shots. People, scenery, close up, far away, nothing in particular. I think it would be really cool to capture movement (like a car passing by in 5 shots... stuff like that) Taking good quality pictures (close up or far away) as fast as I can press the button.
Hey, Yes the camera outfit I have was $80 total. To alot of people (passerby for instance) film is archaic you will hear the term "film is dead" if you stick around long enough. This type of thinking can lead to some very nice deals on older cameras.
For some of the stuff that you are suggesting you would like to shoot you aren't going to be happy with a full manual camera like some have recommended. Like Early said you are looking at alot more modern equipment. But that doesn't necessarily have to be expensive either. To add to Early's list I though I'd add what I am familiar with. My Minolta 700si is auto focus, 1/8000 max shutter speed and has a 3fps (frames per second. What you need to "capture motion" the way you stated) motor ect. Cost me $60 shipped (no lens, ebay) when it was new it was around 700 bucks IRC. There just isn't a huge market for pro level film SLRs anymore. Just look around on ebay and you will see what I (we) mean.
Early did put a good list together, my working knowledge is limited compared to his.
