Which camera to buy? Jesus
I've done a bit of Photography in the past, but never really got into it.
Well now I have a little extra money and would LOVE to buy a camera and try it out in a more serious manner.
So /p/ help me find a camera to buy....
Im looking for something with Manual focus - thats a must have. My budget is about 350-400 dollars. Anyone know a beginner camera with manual focus for around that much?
Thanks alot in advance.

New: Film cameras if you know how to use them and want to deal with film.
Used:
Canon Digital Rebels
Olympus E400 series

Both are digital and work great for beginners. Keep in mind that most entry level SLR cameras+lens cost start out from 500-1000 dollars, so you'll need to look online for used cameras.

Also keep in mind that if you want very sharp pictures and low shutter speeds, you might have to buy extra lenses that cost 350-400 dollars alone. Professional lenses cost even more- from 1000 to 5000 dollars.

I suggest you look at dpreview.com and start looking at the SLR reviews and you'll learn a lot more than sticking around here.
