So, my camera is as good as broken. It was again and again over the last year, I always got it somehow fixed, because I hate our Wegwerfgesellschaft (I even got it repaired twice by professional people). But right now it seems to be seriously broken, I cant turn it on for longer than a few seconds and then only with holding it in a certain position and the zoom is broken etc. Also, the picture quality seems to get worse and worse, I have dead pixels all over my pictures and I notice a 'glowing' effect on my pictures more and more and it has a very strong color-noise.
The problem is, I just can't afford a new one right now. I know I booked an expensive flight in december, but that was with money I didn't count on anyway and damn, I really want to make that trip. Unfortunatly, money is tighter than I thought, as I have to come up with 140 Euro more *every* month from now on. I don't really have a clue how to make that. One of the first things is for example is not going to the Mera Luna, what I'd really would have loved to do. But it's too expensive and besides I guess I'd loose at least one day I could work instead.
Oh well, long story short: I don't have money for a new camera. But I really want a new one. And I have the loveliest mother on earth, who said she would give me some money to buy a new one :D <3 It's not that I could make 'big jumps' and buy the best and newest, but it's enough to help me out affort a good, new camera. Right now I strongly tend to buy the Exilim EX-Z75. If anyone has anything to say about that (in the next two-three hours!) do so :) Or give me other recommendations.
What I like about this cam:
Not too expensive,
Anti-Shake,
SD-Card-compatible,
small,
can make movies (my old one could only 30 sec movies, when buying it I never thought that would bother me, but damn it did!)
and well, seems to get good grades everywhere.
Downside is that I know the recharging station and don't like it, but oh well. And someone somewhere said it's hard to turn off the digital zoom and that the cam forgets that with every turning on/off. Also, I'd have LOVED to have a cam with a better zoom (ideally this one: Kodak EasyShare v610, but it is more expensive and doesn't have good grades). Ah, well, I'll read some more about cams now... after breakfast :)
