1. I don't know what you mean by digital is not a professional "look". Everything you see in magazines or newspapers is digital. Glamour and fashion is digital now. The higher end cameras like Canon and Nikon all are this way. If you still want to use film, you can, but they will become obsolete within the next 10 years.
2. I'd recommend some cheap digital SLR camera, probably with old cheap all-manual lenses you can find in ebay. Digital technology will allow you to review the shot instantly and correct the errors, and SLR with interchangeable lenses will help to understand basics of optics and things like aperture and depth of field. I'm starting with Pentax K100 and so far I love it :) and it does look and sound(the shutter is quite loud) professional.
3. I'm not sure what you mean by the digital look. There are plenty of professionals running around with pro digital SLR's and lenses with costs that compare to an entry level Hyundai. Their images are definitely professional. Keep in mind too that different Digital SLR's will give you different results. Pro's will use a certain brand for certain situations. For example the Fuji S5 is known for giving great skin tones so it is known as a good camera for portraits. Another thing to keep in mind is cost. With a digital SLR and a large SD/CF card you can shoot all day for free. With film, every time you press the shutter you are spending $$. The only problem I have with digital is that technology changes so fast. A digital camera bought today will be obsolete in a few years. A film body, will have a much longer lifespan and I would consider an investment. Here is my advice. Get a good entry level or advanced amateur Digital SLR body and "Invest" your money on the lenses. Your lenses will last longer than your Digital body. Hope that helped. b
4. I think people are confusing what you are trying to say. by digital, do you mean point and shoot? have a look for a DSLR. they're proffessional cameras used for most things now. an excellent beginner dslr is the canon 350D. or the Nikon equivalent. they're pricey for a highschool student but great if this is what you want to do.
5. If you mean a normal camera (non-digitalized with film). I would suggest a LOMOGRAPHY (or LOMO) camera. A regular LOMOGRAPHY camera is less then $100. But, you can buy kits. Usually $70 to $400 for the kits. FOR LOMOGRAPHY CAMERAS GO TO: http://www.lomography.com http://www.fredflare.com If you are looking for a professional looking digital camera I would suggest a Canon or Nikon camera. They get a little pricey though but it's worth the money I think.
6. I think you mean more pro, like not the point and shoot camera look. They can take some really great pics too. I have a Casio Z1070 is use with my Nikon D200 and D300. You nca get a 35mm SLR digital camera. www.samys.com has great deals, great info and manufact. rebates. Have fun gettgin to kow the camera. Later you can decide what type of phototgrapher you want to be...model, wedding, photojournalist. www.geocities.com/mjmedrano
7. The pro photographers world is all digital. But we don't just shoot and deliver. Every good photographer takes that file into photoshop and fine tunes it just like we use to do in darkrooms. Remember it is not the camera what makes a good photographer.
8. as in digital are you talking about a small camera like a kodak or something because the higher priced nikon & canon cameras are deffinately professional. i worked for a professional photographer and he had nikons and now i myself own one for work (a local newspaper). film can be fun to develope and such but it will soon be hard to even find it in the stores--everyone is going digital because it the better way to go.
9. A film camera may be what you're looking for. The results won't necessarily be more "professional", but in many cases they will be different from digital.
