Or you can buy second hand and sell for almost the same price you paid after
you decide to change.

I have a couple of Nikons (including an F4) and mostly manual Nikkor lenses.
I normally recommend old EOS cameras (600 series) for beginners wanting AF
(much easier to learn what the camera is really doing than with the icon
modes on newer cameras). Or those who aren't put off by manual focus, the
Canon T90, and old metal Minolta, Nikon or Pentax are all good. Nikon and
Pentax have the advantage that the better bodies support both AF and MF
lenses, if you get to the point of wanting to upgrade the body.

I would emphasize that buying more equipment doesn't make you better at
photography. Spend more money on film and processing (or learn to do it
yourself).
