Hi! Here's my issue:
I've had the canon 600D for about four years now, but recently it took some water and won't turn on. I have the kit 18-135mm that I barely use, a 50mm (the cheapest one) and a 35-80 mm from my dads film camera
Although it's been four years I still have a lot of room for improvement. I think I do decent pictures but I'm also starting to get into videography and my skills are extremely basic. I still have a lot to learn on this body; I wanted to buy an actual tripod (and not a knockoff gorilla pod like what I have) a mic and possibly an external flash. My plans are kinda cut short by this accident. So now I'm faced with a dilemma:
I could either pay to get it repaired (if it even can be), or I could buy the same body again, or I could upgrade.
I'd like to keep my expenses below 500€
If I did upgrade, I don't know which way I could go. I don't know if the 650/700D would be that much of an upgrade, especially since I'm not fond of the touch screen, of if it's the best I can hope, given my budget constraint
A quick google search tells me I could get a secondhand 60D for less than 400€. I don't know how realistic that is, or even what I would use it for
I'm into portraits, architecture and street photography.
So there you go! I think I gave all the information needed!
What do you think I should do?
