  1. I go to the Art Institute of Colorado, and we mostly use digital. We didn't start off with 35mm like some other schools. We started with DSLR's, then moved into large format w/ film, then large format w/ leaf backs (digital).

    When I started a couple years ago, we had the Canon Rebel XTi in our kits (I highly suggest this camera). The newer students have the Olympus E-520.


  2. I am not sure what is offered where you are, but yes, start with Photography class.  There may be other classes related with graphic design, or multimedia design... some of those will integrate photography into the classes.   Also, if you are very serious, why not check into a Photography College, like the New York Institute of Photography?  They would have a whole program filled with classes to help you learn and discover your talent.  

    Camera??  That is up to you.  Maybe you already like Canon, and own Canon lenses... so keep those as some will work with the Canon digital cameras.  As a guide, you can look up reviews on the cameras on www.dpreview.com

    Thanks for reading!
