What with christmas being so close and all, I figured I'd ask my parents for a nice 35mm. I don't want to ask them to pay over 200 dollars though. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone old to photography but new to the old ways?
A Nikon N75/N80 or Canon EOS Rebel T2 would fall into that price bracket - dont know what camera system you are using now so it would probably make sense to choose the same one so you can use the same accessories - flashes/lenses etc.
