It's a fun hobby. It's as expensive as you are willing to let it be. You can get a digital point-and-shoot camera for $100 or less that will take good photos, or you can spend five or six hundred for an SLR camera that will give you more flexibility and control (but at a greater price). Film cameras can be a lot cheaper up front ($100 on eBay can get you an excellent older film SLR), but the cost then depends on how much film you shoot.
I bought a friend of mine an all-plastic Chinese camera called a Holga which cost me $60 for the entire kit brand new including a roll of 120 film for it, 35mm film adapter, and flash. It's supposed to take some interesting pictures due to the simplicity of its design and the slight unpredictability of cheap plastic optics. Depending on his feedback on it, I'm tempted to get one myself, or else maybe invest in a Canon rangefinder camera for my next camera (or, hey, try to pay off my credit cards...)
I actually have a digital camera I bought for 250 but now I'm looking for more High Def, I'm really going to get a camera that is worth probably around 4 to 5 hundred so I star taking some really nice pictures of nature and stuff like that.
