NO, it’s a digital camera
However it does have the body and some features of traditional 35mm cameras
they refer to it as a Digital SLR camera
because the lenses can be swapped out just like a 35mm camera

if you are a beginner, you might want to look for a point and shoot camera, something with not as many advanced features.

Kodak cameras offer simplicity of use and a descent quality picture (especially their digital line of cameras)

however there are lots of options for you.

you need to determine a few things before buying a digital camera / or a 35mm

1- what are you gonna be taking pictures of?
action, friends, landscaping,people, animals
2- how light or compact should the camera be?
– what kind of a zoom does the lense need?
2- how much money do you want to spend?
3- do you want to print the photos at home
and quickly view them on your pc
(do you have a pc and photo printer)?
4- how many years do you need the photo’s to last
(ink jet and laser printed photo’s can last anywhere from
25-100yrs)
