best camera lens filter brands image

I'm an amateur photographer; I've had my Minolta for almost 4 years now, and I love it. But I want to delve more into photography, and I'm concerned that accessories I'll need (lens filters, remotes, etc.) won't be available--I've spent an hour scrounging the web, and they're already harder to find. I know I'll need to switch over sooner or later, and I guess I'd rather do it before I buy a lot of expensive gear. But I'm a college student, so I don't have a lot of cash to work with. Would you recommend buying a new camera now, or waiting? If you do think I should buy a new camera now, what brands/models can you recommend that will give me quality shots without blowing my budget? Are their good websites I can go to for cameras and photography gear? (BTW, I'd like to stick with film cameras, not digital.) Thanks a lot!!

i'm not really sure what the problem is. filters are typically usable on any lens with the right size threads no matter who makes it, so i don't really see the problem about obtaining accessories.
if you like your minolta i would hang onto it until you've got more cash. then maybe upgrade to a nikon or canon - you can get real nice film bodies for cheap now that everyone is going digital. if you wait a couple of years they'll be even cheaper...
one camera that comes to mind is the nikon n90. it used to be nikon's top of the line consumer camera and cost over 1000 bucks. now you can get one (used of course) for $200-$300

is it possible to fix the lens or filters of one brand to other brand camcorders or cameras to take pictures or shoot videos?
Answer
At camcorder level, you cannot change the lenses of the cameras. Once you move up to the prosumer line of video gear, you can get video recorders with interchangeable lens systems.
Just like in the still camera world, each maker of video cameras uses a proprietary lens mounting system. There are adapters available, but also like in the still camera world, not usually worth the effort.
Filters are filters, as are screw-on lenses. They are made in multiple sizes to fit the various standard lens threads. A Sony telephoto screw on lens will work on any camera that you can manage to screw it into. The same applies to any screw-on lens or filter.
