The choices i have are either...

- A quality film SLR (very easy to get within budget, heck, even $200
is enough for the pentax zx/mz-m).
- A digital SLR (canon or nikon; new or like new from ebay).
- an all-in-one 8mp digital, such as the canon or olympus.

Since none of your choices includes Medium Format, I suggest you not cross
post here. I'll killfile the thread for myself, but you could be more
carefull.
