[quote=DAVEC,298895]Hi, Firstly dont think you will get a good price for the 35mm unless it is mint condition and boxed, in which case a collector will want it in 50 years time. Film is dying at an alarming rate if it isnt dead already, nobody wants film cameras. I have 3 lovely Nikons in my cupboard which I previously put on Ebay and got 1 bid of £15, 1 camera alone cost me £1000, there just isnt a market for them currently. As for your questions, personally I would say learn on the film camera to get the basics. If it turns out that SLR cameras are not your cup of tea then you wont have spent loads on new gear. Film and digital SLR cameras work in roughly the same way with the end result store on different mediums. Cameras in China? I am not so sure, I did have a quick look at upgrading my Nikon when I was in Guangzhou last month and the closest I could get was £5 dearer than I could buy it in UK. My only advice to anyone buying away from their home is check and then double check the warranty card ( and dont buy if you dont get one). Ensure the camera has a worldwide warranty and is stamped by the store, without this if you have a problem back home dont be surprised if the manufacturer says no to a repair and refers you back to the store. I spent last 13 years selling cameras in the UK, everything we sold had worldwide warranty, if it didnt have one we knew it was a 'grey import' and wouldnt touch it. [/quote]
