About the only thing I would avoid now is a film camera....as much as it pains me to say it, digital is the way to go.
One thing which stands out with a quality film camera is that it, in of its self, is a work of art such as an intricately made side arm or watch. Of course Nikon does have a good selection of digital cameras for today's amateur photographer.
