Other books/materials, etc. required for class:

A digital camera. Since this will be the primary tool used for the class, it is very important to check with me before purchasing a new camera. This will only save you money and help you get the best camera in your budget.

If you already own a camera, please e-mail me the model before signing up for the class and I will let you know if you will be able to use that model or not.

Please note that the most common features advertised by electronic stores/websites (such as megapixels, zoom, screen size, type of battery, etc.) are the least important features in a digital camera.

Your minimum budget should be around $120.
