Is there a specific type of camera you need to use to develop pictures in a darkroom like what kind and model?

Any camera that uses film will work. Bear in mind though that it’s harder process to develope color film. Black and white film is easy enough to develope in a b&w film canister, but color requires a machine that is expensive.
Also remember all film color or B&W cannot be exposed to any sort of light after you’ve taken your pictures or else the film will be ruined.

You don’t use cameras to develop pics. Are you thinking of an enlarger?
Any kind of pic from a camera that uses film or plates can be developed in a darkroom.
I would like to see film developed that could be developed in ordinary light, wouldn’t you?

An old one. All new cameras rely on colour film which can not be exposed to any light in processign and must be done by machine. Old cameras you can make a back and white negitive and develop it in a dark room with red light to see what you’re doing. The film used for that (mostly just in enlargers for press purposes now) is not reactive to red light, so you can hand develop in a dark room.

If you are taking a class and going to be developing your own film and need a camera to learn photography, you can get by with most any 35mm camera. The cheaper your camera is though, the greater your limitations. Most likely you will be working with black and white film (like Tri-X). Stay away from films that are labeled as black and white films needing C41 processing, they are really color films that need special processing. As to what kind of camera, buy any Nikon or Pentax which have some manual controls which you can learn to set, such as the f’stop and shutter speeds. You can pick up a good used one for $100 or less on Ebay. I taught high school photography for 8 years.
