I have a friend who's been asking a lot of questions lately about my photography hobby and is interested in purchasing his first camera. I started with my dad's old film SLR, which seemed like a good way to learn the basics, and even better, gave better photo quality than starting with a really cheap point-and-shoot. My friend is concerned about the cost of developing, however. Is starting with film still a good recommendation in this day and age? Or would starting with a cheap digital be better? If so, recommendations?
