I'm thinking of getting myself 'proper' camera for Christmas Any advice on what to get? I like to take macros also landscapes and general photography. My optio just isn't doing it for me anymore! I don't have a clue where to start so any advice much appreciated. Thanks

My w90 broke while I was on holiday and I'm considering wether it's worth getting it repaired. Has anyone sent one for repair, what sort of costs do you think I'd be looking at? There is a possibility it could have water damage which would probably make it beyond economical repair. But the camera does turn on, so maybe there is some hope? When you turn the camera on it (sometimes) starts taking photos, as if the shutter button is stuck on. It may stop after about 4 photos or keep going til it's done 6 (fills the internal memory). Then you can access the menus and delete photos but the shutter button does not work. Sometimes when I turn it on no buttons work at all.

I see a Olympus tough tg-320 for £120 wondering if I should just get that instead?

a couple of short videos from my W90 on you tube.

We were stood watching the water when this big wave knocked us over. It was the first test in the water for the camera! We ended up with a few scratches but the camera survived unharmed.
