i like canon and am probably going to stick with their EOS range since i have nice lenses already, was thinking about the 550d for the specs i have seen.

obviously i want an slr not a medium format beast,

also thinking about doing some lomography, has anybody had any experience good or bad?

Yeah man i need a new cam, its driving me mad. I want a Nikon D90...just cant afford it yet.

Ive never tried lomography, i have a friend who does it, and she fucking loves it...to the point where it was a little annoying at first! You can get some awesome results so go for it if you got the cash!

There's loads of cheap stuff like that on eBay and etsy.com. Great way to get some manual focus lenses and whatnot.

I meant buy an old SLR and if it doesn't work, just use the lens, if it's compatible. :)

If I can find one of the sites again, I'll post the link here. I think a few smaller companies started going after the niche market of people that wanted to still use it.

Looks like a sweet camera. Might have to see if I can pick one up myself, though i'll not be developing the film myself, I'm not a big fan of all stuff. I do like the idea of having a film camera though. :D

Much better quality images, and its not like you know if the pics are going to come out good, its a nice surprise the other thing is it pushes you to learn how to deal with different lighting conditions.
