(climbing back on to my soap box)

respectfully - if you have to ask you must not have tried it !
Get a Pentax K1000 and the book "Understanding Exposure" - the two combined are like a mini course in the fundamentals of photography
You'll be amazed how awesome the K1000 is compared to the "over complicated" with "dim viewfinder" dSLR we are issued these days.
Then you'll see why people are always buying K1000 on eBay
With that camera there is nothing to get in my way, no menus or settings to mess with, nothing extra at all.
Just me and a sturdy, good looking camera, with a huge bright viewfinder with an unobtrusive needle meter inside. Nothing gets in my way as I decide the depth of field and the speed - then I manually focus and wind the shutter and take the shot at just the right moment - it's true photography!
I enjoy using my old K1000 so much
(Stepping off my soap box now)
I just wish there was a digital one
Until then I'll stick with my dSLR and pocket digital for the bulk of my shooting.
Cheers,
Craig
