I just picked this up for $50 of Craigslist (SLR Nikon F55). Im just getting into photography and thought this was a good start. Is it? I have a guy already offering me 2 bottles of whiskey for it. Whiskey is worth 80-90$. Should I just sell it for the whiskey (save money cause im going to buy whiskey anyways) and get a digital starter camera?

also (this will sound dumb) i didn't know it was film..... if you guys could recommend a starter camera for me. Ill be mostly taking shots at night of obscure things in the hood. I'm a wheatpaster for a guerilla marketing company so i work a lot at night in weird parts of the city.

Again I figured this would be a good spot to ask rather than starting my own thread ( i don't mean to derail)

the film alone would cost too much in the end? and not sure how ii would upload my pics online if i had to get the film developed.

Ok i think that's it..

THANKS!
