Answer
Nikon is the best brand. If you want a really good camera get the Nikon D80 DSLR. As a beginner you can stick to a standard lens, or you can research different lens that will help you with the type of photography you do. Here are some types of lens and what there used for.

Telephoto- far shots, like the moon and others, nature, and portraits. At least the only ones I could think of.

Wide Angle- landscape, portraits (depending), night shots.

Macro- close up shots of anything.

And there are much more, but there for the more experienced and complecated photographer.

Also look into filters. If you get a digital camera don't worry about filters used for b/w.
Get yourself a program called photoshop. It's really expensive. If you want to try it out b4 you buy it then go to http://www.adobe.com and try the 30 day trial of Photoshop CS3. If you get the program it will cost around $600-$800. And look into a lens hood so you can prevent lens flare on those sunny days. Get a book on photography if you don't already have one.

Again just to start off with, I would use a standard lens. That's all I use, due to tight budget. Take a look at my pics. at http://www.myspace.com/lugenbeal. And learn how to opperate your camera in total manual mode, where you choose the aperture and the shutter speed, and zoom manually with the lens. You don't have to it's just a suggestion. It helps you to not be so dependent on auto, because ther will be times when you have to switch to manual.

Sorry for such a long answer, but I hope this all helps.

My Minolta Maxxum 5 camera has been discontinued. Will I need a newer one if I want to get more accessories?

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!!

Answer
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.
