Photography!!!
Well, my school doesn't offer any photography classes, so I'm taking matters into my own hands.
Photography is a hobby of mine, and I want to start saving up for a pretty decent camera. (up to about 350-450 dollars, I suppose.)
What I'd like to know is, what are some really nice cameras you've all used? I'll have a 5.0 megapixel Canon PowerShot Digital Camera again soon (I dont know the exact model, but it's like, their best one) so I'm thinking of getting a 35MM film camera (I LOOOOOVE film!!!) I want one similar to this one:

That kind of style, preferably one where you can out filters on the lens and such. And a tripod option too, if possible.
So if any of you have advice on camera types/books on photgraphy, that'd be wonderful.
I'll leave feeedback (I'm a columnist too and I know how much it helps!)

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Bear in mind that film is on its way out, except for the serious artists. Almost everyone is going digital these days, and the technology will only improve as time goes on. Of course, if you're doing it as a hobby, you can go any way you want, but if you expect to do it professionally you might as well go strictly digital.
That having been said, the Canon Powershot is certainly a decent choice for digital cameras. Get a UV filter for all your lenses. Don't save money on the neck strap; the last thing you want is for a $10 strap to break and destroy a $1000 camera. Pretty much any camera you buy will have a socket for a tripod. The actual tripod should be reasonably heavy-duty; again, it sucks when your cheap tripod fails and drops your expensive camera onto a rock.
