I think it would be fun to take a photography class at a community college for one of my elective courses, because I'm looking at buying a nicer camera anyway, but I don't know what camera would be best to get.
The class description is this:
"Students learn basic digital camera skills beginning with exposure control, including bracketing, reciprocity, exposure modes, and the use of the histogram. The creative techniques of depth of field and movement control are explored as well as techniques for low light and night photography. Image processing skills are introduced using Adobe PhotoShop, including basic digital workflow management, density and contrast control, basic black and white conversion, dodging, burning, cropping, and retouching. Print presentation and archival storage methods of prints and digital media will be explored."
And it also says:
"Students are required to have any fully-adjustable digital camera with a resolution of 4MB or greater. Photographic Imaging majors are required to have a digital SLR camera with a resolution of 6MB or greater. Students must provide their own memory cards, storage drives, CD-Rs,DVDs, ink jet paper and some other supplies."
Since I'm not a Photographic Imaging major, I don't need an SLR camera for this class, so would a camera like this [ http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15207 ] do the job? I'm not sure if it's fully adjustable or if it has a resolution of 4MB or greater. If anyone knows if it would qualify, that'd be great, but if it's not the right kind of camera, suggestions or helpful info would be really helpful.
Thanks!
