We have many many pawn shops here and I do not want to drive around to all of them looking for a 35mm camera. Any suggestions? Do they have websites usually? What are some of the problems with buying a used 35mm camera, the fully manual film type, I should be on the lookout for? Do pawn shops usually guarantee their stuff to work?More

Pawn shops can be hit or miss. They won't guarantee their items to work...and they probably won't have someone who knows enough about 35mm cameras working there.
I'd go to a camera shop that sells used equipment. 35mm stuff is pretty cheap now. And from a camera shop, it's guaranteed that it'll work. Plus, they'll be able to help you find a camera that works for you, including the lenses. More
Well, on the course description, they said we had to provide our own 35mm camera. Do you guys think it has to be one of the those more expensive SLR ones? Or can it be the normal film ones (ones that you can easily buy under 50)? Class hasn't started yet, but I'm afraid because if it's the SLR ones, I don't think I'm able to afford it. And plus, I'm only taking this class for fun so I don't necessarily want to spend too much money on it (besides the film and etc.). Would anyone want to clarify this for me?
Well, okay. It turns out my uncle has a Canon AE-1. It's pretty old, but how do you guys think that will do?More

What you need is a manual camera, something like the Pentax K1000, OM1, OM2 from Olympus, any Nikon or Canon that fits the manuals category.
You can use a 28 or 35mm wide angle, a 50mm standard lense, and anywhere from a 105-135mm for portraits. You can, if you want, cover these ranges with two zooms, a 28 or 35-70mm and a 70-210mm.
The camera, and be sure that you get one that is working. You can get that from www.keh.com that has a warranty to it. Don't buy the bargain, but really, KEH underrates their cameas, so one in Excellent condition might, indeed, be virtually brand new.
I have three Canons, 2 A1, and on AE1 (not AE1 Program), and a Pentax ME Super which though about 15 or more years old, looks brand new. I have a bunch of lenses for the canons, and a 50mm, 28-70mm zoom and a 70-210 zoom - the two zooms are absolutely brand new. All have been thoroughly checked out and are warrantied. More
I would like to use my old, but good quality 35mm camera with German lens for digitalized photo.
I don't want to spend so much for film.
I want to know most economical way of solution, because I already have digital camera. Thanks.More

You can't do much except send the film to a company that will develop the pictures and put them on cd. Luckily the price of processing has come way down since 'days of yore'.
You may want to find a company that gives you a free replacement roll of film at the same time.
Seattle Film Works comes to mind. More
I am taking a photojournalism class for school this year. And I need at 35mm camera, but I don't know much about them. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about a few good cameras that are relatively inexpensive.More

Photojournalists use Nikon and Canon cameras.
If you buy a 35mm Nikon or Canon SLR, eventually when you graduate and start shooting digital images, the lenses you acquire during school will fit your new DSLR.
When I was in school, we used mostly Nikon's and a few Pentax's. In the early 1970's Canon put their hat in the ring with their F-1. Since then Nikon and Canon have been the choice of the pros. More
