Cameras with film and digital.do they exist?

I'm taking a flm photography class and some of the stuff we do is digital. Are there any cameras that are made for film and digital? Hopefully new and in the Nikon or Canon range? If not, what is the best digital camera ever! (BTW, my budget is 700-800 dollars)

Nope

only way to do that is to buy a medium format camera with switchable backs, such as one of the Hasselblad H3D series or H4D series (minimum cost, $13, 000) and get a film back (another $5000 or so)

thats without any lenses

the best digital camera technically is the Hasselblad H4D-200MS at a modest $45, 000
in your range, get something like the Nikon D3000 or Canon Rebel Xs (both at $500) and spend the rest on a Canon Rebel Film camera (if you choose the Xs) or one of the Nikon F series cameras, such as the FM10. The reason being is that you can use all your canon lenses on your canon cameras (as long as they are EOS mounts), and you can use all your Nikon lenses on all the Nikon cameras (pretty much)

or you can get something like the Nikon D3100 or Canon T1i, save a little bit more, and can an older Canon AE-1 (whose lenses will NOT fit on the canon cameras) or an older Nikon F or F2 (whose lenses will fit)

Dr. Iblis: Sorry to say, but Hasselblad H3D and H4D do not have interchangeable backs. They are both intended as closed systems, and therefore not compatible with film backs and 3rd party digital backs.

Hasselblad H16-32 magazines works exclusively with the Hasselblad H1 and H2F. I paid $2500 for my H1 body. A used digital back for the H1, cost from $2000 for a tethered back and $4000 for a decent non-tethered back. So you will end up spending at least $4000-4500 for a combo between the two formats. Another thing, is that the Hasselblad film back cost $1500, and not $5000 as Dr. Iblis claims.

Despite Hasselblad being the best system to date, there are other manufactures giving you the same possibility. In fact most Medium Format SLR's, like those from Mamiya, Contax, Bronica etc. Are compatible with both film and digital backs. The problem is in the cost of the digital backs. For example, a used Mamiya RB67 with a filmback will run you $400. Where as, a digital back will cost thousands of dollars.

To answer your question, it's not possible to buy such solution for 700-800 dollars.
The most affordable solution is to buy two separate cameras, one for film and one for digital.

I know a little when it comes to digital cameras and digital photography, and I did just buy a new digital camcorder, but I've never come across a camera that allows for both digital shots and traditional film photography. I know a great online site that sells very high end digital cameras and their cameras fall within your budget. The site is, http://www.digitalimaginghq.com What I would do, is gather up all of your suggestions here, do your research and just check out that site when you're comparing and narrowing down your search. Best of luck to you and hope my suggestion helps!
