Hey Guys!
My Canon 300D has broken. It couldn't have come at a worse time as my photography A-Level project is due in within the next 5 weeks.
I have absolutely no money - My summer job hasn't even started yet. I get allowance every month from going to school (The Government pay) and my Dad gives me the family allowance (Again, Government funded).
I really want the Canon 350D - and its in Currys for £379.99. Problem is, I can't get any credit because I live with my Dad and he's blacklisted after my parents divorce (Mother proper screwed him over, to put it lightly).
I've asked my Mum to get it on an Interest-free credit plan from Currys in her name, and put the paying bank account as my own, so it won't cost her a penny. She refused. She has quite a low level of interest when it comes to anything involving me.
So, my Nana has come to my rescue! She said I can order one, interest free from her catalogue!
However, the only 2 camera's they offer, below £550 are:
1. The Nikon D40. A true Digital SLR with all the features of my 300D and more. Its £569 - which is just over £169 more than the shop price, but its on credit so I can't really complain.
2. Fuji S9600. Its a sort of trying-to-be-an-SLR digital camera. It has manual focus, and most of the features a true Digital SLR has - and a 9MP res., which is a step up from the 6 I'm used too. £439 (£300 in shops)
So, for my Fashion Photography/Fashion Portraits, which is the best to suit me? I love having the ability to capture 2/3 images a second, as a lot of my models are moving, and I love that high-fashion effect I get by using an SLR camera.
My School doesn't have one, and none of my friends do Photography.
I understand the prices above are way above what a cash price camera is, but its the only option I've got. I can't get credit because I'm financially linked with my Dad, who eventhough he did nothing wrong, has had his name ruined by a CCJ for the next 2 years by my Mum. If someone can think of a way of me getting credit on the 350D from Currys, let me know
