There's plenty of good advice here already, but I might just emphasise one point that has already been made.
The camera that you buy will be old and possibly heavily used. It may or may not be reliable. Unless you are desperate for money, and your budget suggests otherwise, I would be sure to buy from a dealer and get a guarantee. You don't want to find yourself in a situation where you can't do your work because the camera has broken down.

not necessarily. You can buy a brand new manual camera ideal for learning on if you get a Vivitar. True its actually made by Cosina but it has Pentax fit lenses and is qite lightweight.

and it has a DOF preview button!
If i had to sell up and then sgtart again I'd probably go for it!
