So /p/, what kind of camera would you suggest to a poor college student who will PROBABLY pay for said new camera with left over scholarship money?
I'm a bit of a Canon fan, myself, but that may be because I was raised on them.

How much leftover scholorship money are we talking here? How much photography experience do you have?

My instinct is to say get something like a Canon PowerShot A-series, like the A640.

I have a Canon Rebel & a Powershot. My dad's a photographer, so I grew up in the studio, but I'd like to learn new things.

By "Canon Rebel," do you mean plain film Rebel or digital rebel?

If the latter, then you probably have all you need. Maybe an old EOS film body.

If the former, get something like a used 20D or something like that.

Yeah, I'm a dummy. I always forget to put the important part. It's just a plain film :) And thank you both very much, I'll check out Craig's List

Do forget eBay, unless you want broken cameras.

Because buying through a major online auction site is more dangerous than buying from some random shmuck who put up an ad on Craigslist?

Yes.

Schmucks on craigslist are, almost by definition, local. So you can go poke at the camera before you actually fork over the dough, and if it falls apart the second it gets home, you can go kick their ass.
