Q. DO I NEED AN SLR/DSLR TO TAKE CLASSES?
A. In order to take full advantage of courses and to participate in all the hands-on activities, we strongly recommend bringing an SLR/DSLR to class each week.
If you do not own one yet, see if you can borrow one from a friend or family member for the first few classes. That way, when you do go shopping for a camera you will have a better idea of the kinds of features you like to have.
