Hello forum,
I have 2 questions, I guess I will ask them in two posts? one's easy (and is basically the reason my camera broke), one is "what camera do you recommend".
long story short, on "budget" point and shoot camera's, what do you think of the shoot buttons which have halfway-pressure to focus, then full pressure to take the photo? are they considered delicate and will break, or are they standard practice?
the shoot button on my Fuji F70EXR stopped having the halfway-pressure point (I've taken about 2000 images in 5 years - basically light casual use). I'm guessing whatever pressure spring inside it under the button,, stopped acting as a spring. this meant that when I was taking still photos, it was permanently halfway down
the pressure failure also caused it to have a high failure rate in taking videos. maybe 40% of the time, it would stop taking the video 1 second after I started it
