shoot film. digital is cool until your hard drive fails and you lose all your work. learn how to take photographs and develop them, then learn how to shoot digitally. and if you are a student, developing is not an outrageous amount of money.

i say you get a used canon A2 off www.bhphotovideo.com get to know the bacis of photography, it can shoot 5fps which make awesome sequences and has an all manual mode so you can get really good photos, there only $125, and a 50mm $80, you have a nice setup for $205

D70/S is 3 frames per second. Good enough for rail sequences but not really kickers. I used to have one and it just wasn't fast enough (just got a D200 and 5fps is good). If you want a fast drive, get an old 10D on eBay, I think it's about 5fps too.

hahaha oooooh al borland.



get a Canon EOS1 w/ power booster. Then you can shoot killler 35mm slides and the booster makes it 6 fps I think, which is the minimum fps you should have.
