My camera is broken. I've given up hoping that the shoemakers elves might come in and fix it overnight.
It was a Canon 550d, which I genuinely liked. Now, I'm going to admit that I'm a bit nervous posting this as last time I asked camera advice it prompted a discussion over why my camera was shit, and why my phone was shit. I'd just had a baby, wasn't working and had no money to replace either, so it just wasn't helpful. Sorry, I do appreciate advice, but a few folks weren't listening and didn't care for what I was asking about (SD cards), and just piled negativity in to prove who was most right. Please guys, I really don't want that again as my situation hasn't changed and I'm off work with the little one, and have never earned as much as many folks here, so please be sensitive.
I have been saving a long while now for something else, but I think this probably needs doing first, as I use my camera loads.
I've got just shy of £500, so I'd like to get something I will enjoy using for years, and if that means I can get a model that takes better pictures than my last one, then that's all good. I guess flexibility is what I'm looking for, so something that performs well in low light, has good white balancing, a nice focal distance range with any accompanying lens, yadda yadda. Something that handles red and magentas well would be great, too. I'll use it a lot for taking pics of knitting things, so a decent macro setting would be good. I'll be mostly taking pictures of knitted stuff and Darwin, so babies and bbbb... bonnets?
I might not get it immediately, so maybe Father Christmas might put a little extra towards it if I wait and if it's worth it, but I'd like to start reading and choosing now.
Obviously, I'm not looking to just spend as much money as possible for the sake of it, so if I can get something good for cheats then it will mean I can start saving for that boob job* again quicker.
