If you dont and do not want to purchase a new camera you will not be able to participate in many of the class exercises and may want to sign up for the How to Take Better Pictures workshop instead. Any DSLR (Digital SLR) camera will work fine. Nikon and Canon make some good low cost DSLRs. Nikon makes the D50, D60 and D3000. Canon offers the EOS 500D / Rebel T1i DSLR as well as a few other models These cameras are hybrids as they are between the point and shoot and a DSLR: The Nikon CoolPix P90 The Canon Powershot SX10 IS The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 The Fuji FinePix S700
These cameras have limited manual functions but will work well for the class.
