[QUOTE="traceyjj, post: 331880, member: 27458"] Thanks for everyones replies, I will be checking out the links provided soon. The course itself seems very rounded, which is why we chose this course. It has full darkroom facilities so the students are expected to process and print their own shots. One of the course tutors is a pro-tog, (the sports variety with the "white lenses" ;) ) And it has multiple full studio facitilies. They do have a few SLRs to use, but with everyone wanting to use at the same time it could get messy.... AND if she decides she likes messing around in the darkroom, experimenting with processing then she would benefit from a camera of her own. Now down to the camera. I had hoped for a Nikon that has Autofocus, (so I can use any lens we need to buy after she has done with it) but beyond that I wasnt sure which model range would be suitable. Like anyone I want to spend as little as possible for something that [U]may[/U] only be used for 12 weeks. I keep looking on ebay but the numbers/letters of the camera models mean nothing to me. I will go to my local camera shop soon (hopefully soon they might have the D810 in for me to look at too :) ) and get their advice on an older camera body. [/QUOTE]
