While I love the upscale Nikon cameras, I'd suggest you look into the Canon A620. We did a lot of shopping while trying to stay in the under $400 range and this is exactly what we bought for our adult son before he went on a trip to Europe. For that money, you can get the camera and a one gigabyte memory card. The A620 lets you control everything, if you know how, or it takes great shots in several automatic modes. It uses "AA" batteries, too.
The A620 was a Comcast Shopping Top Choice for several months.
Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists.

Check out www.broadwaycamera.com and look up the Canon PowerShot S3 IS. It's inexpensive. Has a very long focal zoom lens from wide angle to telephoto, and has many of the features that you'd find in most expensive DSLRs. It's an OK camera for those once-in-a-while photographers, but if you're looking into something to use as a hobbyist, then I'd have to suggest the Nikon D70S with the kit lens. Also check with www.keh.com and see what they have BUT be ready to buy as soon as you see what you want; their products do not stay on their shelves very long!

Try your local pawn shops and flee markets. Since the advent of digital cameras and the high cost of film and processing, many of them have wound up there. It is a buyers market at present too. Since a 35 film is required, it is likely you will be doing your own processing as well. Beyond that, brand is not quite so important, but you do want to be looking for a SLR camera with at least a 50mm f1.8 lens on it and a shutter that will go to at least 1/1000th of a sec.
