Well, unfortunatly, as time passes, the digital era seems be really growing on me, I, a 14 Year old pursueing a hobbie in photography, am left with a simple, yet effective (and broken ) Pentax ME super 35mm camera. Unfortunatly, my camera which was originally a gift from an older friend seems to have stopped functioning like it should and i am in dire need of a new camera, and well, it seems that i am going to have to go after a digital camera. There is one problem; Money. So i did a tad of research and i came upon the NIkon Coolpix 5700, and found that i can purchase a refurbished one for just over $300 (. here ) Now, yes i know, refurbished things are bad, and i should slap myself for even thinking of buying one, but as of right now its my only option. So here are my questions.
1. My interest of photography = Skating, is this camera suitable for such a thing?
2. I have quite a few lenses lying around, is there an adapter (there is one on my mothers canon a95) for ataching lenses?
3. Is it worth it (big question of the day)
4. Does it have a movie mode that would do the job for taking a few movie shots every now and then?
6. I am currently using an SLR camera, this camera isnt an slr, but would it let me do that same things?
5. INFORM ME ON THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF A DIGITAL CAMERA.
Now now, right, great, this little boy is going to spend every last dollar on this camera. Would it be better for my just to buy another 35mm camera for half the price, or maybe even less?)
