Take it! The camera used is not nearly as important as the compositional skills, and you can get these in the class if it's a good one. The camera just records the scene. It's your brain that 'sees' it and 'frames' it so that the viewer looks just where you want them to look (and ONLY where you want them to look!) when seeing your photos. That's the difference between boring photos and interesting ones. The viewer knows exactly where to look. Their eyes aren't wandering all over the page, on the way to the next one.
A good camera class might just be the difference between having photographs or just snapshots. Take the class!
These same compositional skills are used in ALL the arts, not just photography. They will carry over into your painting, sketching, sculpting, etc., etc., etc.!
