When I was in film school they supplied all the equipment. We got to use nearly every brand of 16mm and video camera available at that time, so when we did purchase our own camera, we knew the limitations of each camera brand.
I eventually bought a Canon XL and used it for a few years before I turned to shooting stills only.
DSLR wise the D40 will get you started with some good available lenses (buy used when you can). By the time you have finished school, the DSLR development will have peaked in its current technology and any new Nikon body you buy will use the lenses you purchased for the D40.
If the price $$ is low and u can get a good quality of dSLR, y pay more ??
Pls take note : CMOS is better than CCD.
If u go for dSLR, my suggestion is Canon EOS 400D, it is 10.1 Mega pix (better pic quality). Lower $$ > it is 20-30% cheaper than Nikon. Don’t understand y people want to pay more for a same standard dSLR.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras and learn as much as they can from the internet.
Go to the store and hold them and try them to see what they feel like and how they take pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck
my suggestion
go to yahoo shopping
