Hi Igor, regardless of the Photography Course or Class a Student will always benefit with a DSLR or a similar advanced camera. And why not when DSLRs are so cheap today. In fact many Students buy pre-owened equipment which are literally selling for peanuts if you look up the KEH website.
I bought my first SLR a Pentax K-1000 SE (made in Japan) in the late 1970s for some $ 258 from Oldens in New York. Jack up that price in todays $$$ terms and you will see how cheap DSLRs actually are today. I remember giving my Daughter a Ph.D student at an Ivy League School in the US a Pentax MZ-5n with a Microscope attachment, so that she could better use it in her re-search work in Genetics. Oh my! How happy she was. Just my 2-cents. Regards.
