Hello /p/,
I recently started with photography as a hobby. I used my dad's camera, but I want to buy a new one for myself. However, since I am a student I have extremely limited budget. What type of cameras should I be looking for under 100 dollar budget, that still make quality pictures?

No. Get an used bicycle or something to get wherever you can shoot with your phone.
And then just save up until for a $1.5-2k or whatever midrange camera (or a $5k+ professional setup, if that's the quality you're aiming for; that's the gear that gets it more reliably).

no need to save up that much unless you're gonna buy new, lots of decent entry level dslr's on the used market for a couple hundred dollars

This. Alternatively, if you are a NEET shut-in, look into buying some foamcore for reflectors and a frame to hold up backdrops. Plus a shitty used tripod and a selfie stick to mount your phone to it with.

For that price you can shoot film for a good amount of time.
Get a Minolta, the bodies are cheap (the XG-M is really good for the price, $25~ on ebay) the lenses you can get for them are pretty good. Look for a 50mm 1.7 or something like that.
For the film, look for the cheap ones. Fuji C200, Kodak Colorplus 200, etc.
Go to a lab to get them developed and ask for scans.

Assume $25 for a decent film camera.
I don't think I've ever had a roll of film plus dev come in under ten bucks.
So that'll last you... 288 photos, give or take? I regularly blow through that in an afternoon.
Get on Craigslist and see if you can find someone selling a Rebel XTi or Nikon D50 with lens for that much. Should be possible. That'll be a much better way to get into photography as a beginner than film.

get a used point and shoot. you would spend more and more money on film and getting it developed. go on ebay, or even better, craigslist, and then look for any good deals.
if you plan on being a gear head then go ahead and get a film camera. But having a shit point and shoot is better than a film camera with no film(assuming you are broke).

I really didn't do much research, so there is probably better out there. I just looked up any cameras with a msrp around $200 and find them used.
Also, you shouldn't make a thread just to request what to buy.

I did that on digital too.
Shoot a lot more conservatively on film. Made me realize that when I went and shot 300 shots, most of them are shit or duplicates.
