Forget gettting a DSLR, you will only be paying for convience. Go to ebay and look for an older 35mm camera with a 50mm lens on it. Go out and buy a wide range of film and just start shooting! Buy a book or two, something approiate to your level and read up on the subject. Practice Practice Practice.

You should be able to get started in under $30.

I've got a Canon Rebel S2 I've been looking to sell.

Let him start with the A300. You can do a lot of manual control with it. Sure the lens is not as great, but I get along just fine with my Powershot G3. I know I would love a XT or a D70, but for a lot of amateur photographers, they should start with whatever htey have....

Rebel S2 = 35mm camera😉

I have a friend who uses a Fuji point and shoot and takes some very good pictures.

Your friend has a lot of talent. I'm quite impressed by his work. Great shots!!
