As a student concentrate on studies first. Work during your scohol holidays and save up for a camera. If you relaly need a SLR for school work you can walways borrow or get a second hand film camera for $100 or less.

Join ur school photography club, will have a few DSLR cam u can use for free if u become a member.
Why the need to get one ? Start off slowly, wif a PnS or something. Play wif a simple cam and see if u r really into photography or simply the "I see alot of ppl use DSLR, i also want to be seen using one" or "Model at comex won't pose for me if i dun use DSLR"

Anyway, u can try convincing ur parent to buy one for u and u pay by installment

Poor or no credit card is not a problem. Maybe can start saving and once you have enough then you buy.
Can consider buying 2nd from the B&S here, it save you alot too.

You should spend only what you can afford and never live on credit... Thats how some people become bankrupt

Living on credit is like gambling

Agreed. Why spend so much money on a DSLR just for 1 school project when you can easily settle for a Point-and-Shoot camera instead? Unless, you wish to take up photography seriously.

Another suggestion is to look for a 2nd hand camera, much cheaper but depend if
you can find a cam in good condition.
