Camera Death

Posted by lilykarin on mars 19th, 2010 . Filed under: Consumption .

My camera is from ca 2001 and is slowly giving up on me alltogether. (I broke my previous camera by kicking it to the ground acidentally and my parents gave me their even older one) This one will not alwaysactually  take a picture just because it says it did which is terribly annoying, and sometimes the cam won’t read the memory card, sometimes the computer won’t. I need to prepare myself for the day when it will no longer work at all! So I need your advice…My plan is of course to buy a second hand camera on an auction site or whatever. But I have no idea on is I should buy a really good one, or just a fairly cheap one.
I have never been interested in being a “good” photographer, it’s not my thing… But it would be good for the website for example, to be able to provide actual quality images of the clothes I’m selling instead of 2001-grainy-ones. (Although I do think I take fairly good pictures for using such an old camera!) And of course it WOULD be fun to learn photography a bit better and generally take nicer photos for this blog and for life and memories and so on… But does that mean I have to buy a huge digital system camera? It would be hard to carry a big cam like that everywhere and I’d be really scared to break it. I do bring my camera with me every day otherwise, in case something fun happens. Advice, anyone? What camera should I be looking for? I am clueless with technical things!

I have another problem too which is that I only photograph Frej… haha.

And myself! Carrot juice!

    Jag har testat casio, nikon och leica och tycker absolut att casio ger bäst bilder. Mina casiobilder blir inte sådär korniga som endel digitalbilder blir, de brukar ha bra ljuskänslighet och smickrande blixt. Dessutom är de ofta billiga och har spännande inställningar! En begagnad är nog helt ok dessutom för min är rätt gammal vid det här laget! Hoppas du hittar en bra!

    I have a point&click Canon & I think it takes nice pictures. Cheaper cameras from good companies are usually good quality & not too pricey. :)
