Craigslist. Film cameras point and shoot and SLR, are very cheap. My wife is a photographer and has purchased a few. I would go digital if you are getting an SLR. She has 2, a Nikon D40 and a D90. They are just so much more user friendly and can do so much more too. Especially when it comes to editing. She has access to a dark room, for when she shoots with film, but she very rarely does anymore. If cost is your main factor then go with film, but digital is better in just about every way.
