Depending on what you mean by Expensive" there are a lot to choose from.
Digital is the easiest to use and be able to see your pictures quickly, you can delete the ones you don’t want and save paper. You’ll probably want one that is at least a 4 megapixle for good resolution up to 8×10 prints.
35 mm is a good format for film cameras.
Check around on the web for info and pricing also you could get a photography magazine.
Here are a couple of links.
Start by going to a bookstore and the library and check out the current popular cameras in the Photography magazines. Also call around to photography schools, colleges, and universities. Be honest with why you are calling and you will get an honest answer.
Check out some recently published books at the library and learn as much as you can.

First, take some photography classes. If you are lucky you’ll get to use a fully manual 35mm film camera and process your film and make prints from your negatives. You will learn about light, f-stops, ISO, shutter speeds and composition. Once you understand these and can use them then you can start thinking about which camera to buy.
After all, you take classes in math and science and history to learn them. Photography is no different.
You learn to drive and get your license before you buy a car. Photography is no different.
Search on ebay and amazon for this book: "Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition" by George M. Craven.
try to get hold of old photography mags may by 2 or 3 years old reed up on the DSLR and take the info and look for a good second hand DSLR from that info there is a lot of good older cannons around like the D10 or Minolta 7d and you will get far more for your money than buying new
Good Luck
I have been into photography for quite some time. I would suggest going to a camera store and seeing what they have. Some stores have used cameras that you can start out with that are not expensive then you can go from there.
