taking a course for photography, dont know what 35mm camera to get.?

i just enrolled in penn foster for photography and one of the requirements is that you have a 35mm camera. i know quite a bit about regular point and shoot digital cameras because my husband works at the photo center in walmart but i dont know anything about professional cameras. What is better...digital or film and what brand and style should i get? our spending limit is $200. i am looking for something that will give great quality pictures with the least amount of hassle possible, so i was thinking digital but if a film camera gives better quality pictures then...??? i am going to be doing wedding party pictures, special occasion pictures, etc. any suggestions??? please help!
it has to be 35 mm adjustable lens i believe. im looking for a professional camera, not just an ordinary point and shoot digital camera.

Having taught photography before, I would think that they want a 35mm single lens reflex camera and you really don't have to get close to $200 to get one.

There is always Ebay and Craig's list, but you can't be really sure of what you are getting until you get it with those sources. I would suggest that you goto www.keh.com, find their telephone number, and call them in Atlanta. They are the largest reseller of used cameras in the US.

What your teacher is probably looking for is a basic manual camera, one with the least number of features, so that they can teach you the real basics of photography. One of the most common is the Pentax K1000, but there are a zillion different brands out there just as good as that one. Look for Canon, Olympus, other Pentax models that are basically manual, and just simply get the best deal. You should be able to get the camera and a 50mm lens, the most common lens, for about $160-$175 and if you get it from KEH, you can be assured of getting one that is totally functional with a guarantee. I buy about 75% of my cameras, lenses, etc. from then and have never been disappointed.
