Question by : Good film SLR camera for a beginner?
I’m going to London and Paris this spring, and I’m interested in taking some film photographs when I’m there. I’ve heard nothing but bad reviews about the toy film cameras that you can buy, and I was looking for some possible options for a solid beginners film SLR camera, and maybe some tips to start using it! Thanks!

That’s correct, the toys are just toys.
Canon and Nikon make excellent 35mm cameras. But since most on line sites that I’ve seen no longer carry them, shop a good local camera store. They can help you more than we can.

Nikon’s D3100 is the company’s latest entry-level DSLR. Announced in August 2010, it’s the successor the best-selling D3000 and makes several key upgrades to that model. Most notably the new D3100 now features Live View and video recording facilities – indeed it becomes the first Nikon DSLR (hotly followed by the D7000) to offer 1080p video recording in addition to 720p. To satisfy market demands, the resolution has also received boost from 10 to 14 Megapixels and there’s a number of tweaks to the controls and ergonomics.
Loads to chose from. Nikon’s N65 is a good deal, an Olympus om-10 or pentax mv-1 is also a good option.
