Hopefully there are some people here who are still using SLR cameras. Right now, I am looking to get one for my photography studies where I will be doing work in the darkroom. Though, I don’t think I should purchase one as new because I’ve always wanted a Digital one as my only one camera.

I am thinking of purchasing a SLR camera as second-hand. Would something like a Canon EOS 300X with 28-90mm lens be good?

If purchased as new, it will cost $449.00 ($330.00 USD - as of 10th of March 2006).

My requirements would definitely be all the necessary features to shoot b/w photograhy using Ilford XP2 ISO 400 film…
