Camera Woes
I forgot to mention that I'm having camera problems. My digital camera is quite a few years old now, so I guess it's about time I bought a new one. The problem is I love my camera and want one just like it, but I don't think they make any like them any more.
My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 2500 and it has the coolest feature of being able to swivel the lens around. This has proven invaluable on a number of occasions, I can tell you! I have far more photos of certain camera-shy people than I would have got with any other camera, and I can even take photos of myself and see on the screen what I'm doing! Plus, I'm constantly amused by people who duck as they pass me thinking they're walking through my photo when in actual fact the shot I'm taking is far above their heads. :P This feature also has the added bonus of meaning that when the camera is not in use, the lens is protected without the need for a cover, which I think is neat.
However, as I said, my camera is quite old now. And it has started doing some funky things when the battery is low. This means I've some very strange, crazy-looking photos which are cool, I admit, but not what I actually intended (well, sometimes they might be, lol). And I think it's getting worse.
What should I do? Does anyone know of another camera with this function? Or can anyone recommend a camera that they would suit me? Help!
