Cool, please do. 
What kind of film cameras are you using? I\'ve been looking at those just for fun, but damn they are expensive. I looked at one which I saw had been approved by Discovery HD for delivering HD content to the channel, the first "pro-sumer" (?) to be so, IIRC it was the EX1 which cost around 6000USD. :eek:
You talking about still cameras? I use the Canon A1. It was released in 1978, I believe, and its been my favorite camera I\'ve ever shot with. Still can find 35mm film cheaply and if its C41, you can get it developed at any photolab. Just go to CVS or Walgreens (Walgreens I feel has the better labs). Though if you can find a lab that has Fuji equipment, I recommend it. Those are the processors I used at my old lab and the image quality is incredible as compared to other company\'s equipment.
Anyway, back to the camera. The A1 is relatively cheap. I bought my camera on Craigslist for 150 with lenses included. But the thing you have to worry about is the quality of what you\'re buying. My camera came with 5 lenses. 2 wide angles, a zoom, a prime telephoto and a teleconverter. All work flawlessly. However, my shutter seized a few weeks after I bought it, so I had to spend 130 to get that repaired. If you get an old camera, I\'d get the A1 since it was the professional FD lens mount camera Canon built. But also remember you should expect servicing when buying an old camera, especially if the camera sits in a closet with no use.
However, if you have say the Canon Rebel XTi and have the EF mount lenses, I\'d get an EF mount film SLR since I don\'t feel its worth buying a whole different lens system. The ElanII is really good. I have that camera and it works really well but I don\'t have the money to spend on EF lenses so I\'m not getting any use out of that camera. I actually may sell it to free up space in my camera bag. Its only my backup but I use my SD900 as backup so it gets no use. I just press the shutter every now and then to get the parts moving.
