After a great deal of dabbling and thought, my son has decided on photography for his major. His first photo classes were B&W film oriented. To my amusement, he's been using the same camera that I bought for MY college classes <mumble> years ago, which his sister also used in her high school classes. This semester he's been exploring all of my extra lenses and filters, and having a blast. I introduced him to color slide film, too, and he's having fun making B&W images with his results.
But to move forward he needs a modern camera. The next courses suggest a DSLR, which seems pretty inevitable if he's going to take this seriously. So I'm looking for recommendations for a good DSLR that he could grow into, expand with quality lenses, and that would be workable for the next few years, until he's sure this is what he wants to do and can move into the professional range.
His one quirk (about this, anyway) is that he would prefer a fixed view screen, not one of the "twirly" ones, and an interface that is NOT touch-screen driven.
Thanks for your advice in advance!
