I don't know how to use these fancy new cameras, but I bet if you go into your local old tyme photo store (not the one in the mall, but the one in the bad part of town) and buy a couple of rolls of film and ask the guy behind the counter how to load the film ... then "oh, buy the way, how do you use it?" you might just get the best kind of help. I'd also recomend going to one or two heavy-duty camera stores and paying the 10% premium just to get that kind of help -- Wal-mart is nice but they can't use a F-601 now, can they. Help boards are great, but the guy saying, "that button" is better.
