I know a person who will be taking a summer course in photography at her
local community college. So she will be needing a camera that allows her to
use all the functions manually.
What might we suggest to this student? Now, the camera can be of any make,
but we must keep in mind that the camera needs to be affordable, roughly
$500 or less with a couple lenses, it needs to be well built/sturdy,
compatible with a variety of third party lenses, and of course it needs to
be a quality product for the price. Nothing extravagant. We're talking about
a student with a loan.
Now, I was thinking this person should get an older K mount pentax, of
course, because they are so readily available here. I was thinking something
like an ME Super, because I can walk into any shop and buy about ten of
them...which other models are well suited for a beginner?
And to stray from pentax..which other brands and models might be good as
well?
