>>4332637sell it and buy a dslr and as many good lenses as possible. primes are best, when learning.
why a dslr? the experience is very good, and rivals leica (it's like chocolate vs vanilla).
as a zoom zoom you can look at screens way less with dslr, but should always chimp if you have a retake opportublnity, check for exposure and for focus.
I recommend you get a 1ds ii. They are truly amazing.
film, did you say, you insist? film, huh. no. you are new and need more shots and feedback.
1 hour photo was what made many a photographer. with digital, you have 0 seconds photo development.
You have no idea right now how crap you first 1000 photos will be. Make your first 1000 cheap and make your learning vurve fast.
shoot photos daily.
When you decide you want to do film, still dom't, film cameras, and film, are overpriced.
Remember that 1ds ii which I said you should get? Yeah, well, it's going to outperform any color film you can buy for $250. The high iso sucks, but the autofocus, at 1ev, beats all phones. yes, all.
Something I wish I had done was buy a good flash and a good tripod, from the start. Do it, it's worth it.
I saw the prices the 1ds ii is going for, it's jawdropping. But, instead of being a pig and biying them all up, I will let the kids join in the fun.
