So I'm 16/f and I absolutely love to take pictures and videos, whether they're about people, animal, buildings, statues, art, nature, etc. I love to take pictures...
The camera I have, I received as a birthday present the summer after 7th grade (I think) and it was a really expensive one (around $375!). But since then, it's seen so much more better days. Right now, the cap that holds the camera battery in is broken so it's held inside by a rubber band, the exterior is all scratched up, and the mode dial is loose and won't let me get to the "User Setting Menu" and 3 or 4 other modes. When I take videos and play them back, all I can hear is a tiny volume of the actual sound part and this obnoxious "tap tap tap" sound.
I know I should've taken a lot better care of it. My mom's lecturing me about how I don't respect anything & that she's reluctant to get me a new one (but she agreed to). I still haven't had my 16th birthday yet (like, I turned 16 on 7/9 but no cake, no gifts, no candles, no singing, no anything) so I was hoping that a new camera would be my 16th birthday present and that's all I would want (plus a soccer ball). But my mom said that if she gets me one now I won't get another except if I pay it with my own money in the future (which isn't going to happen because I rarely get money from my parents and I absolutely have no time to work because during school I barely have time to sleep and during the summer I have to spend a majority of my time doing volunteer work to get an IB diploma).
So should I ask for a new camera for my 16th birthday gift or get a new computer + new camera as my college gift?
Thanks & I know I rambled...a lot. (link)

you should definately get the camera now, which everyone else has already said.
I mainly just commented to tell you to get the Cannon Powershot SD 1100.It just came out in march and its about 250. I LOVE IT! It has so many features.
-Color Accent (Black and White with certain pieces colored)
-Color Swap (changed the colors of objects)
-Different lighting for different scenes (beach, snow, etc)
-Takes Video
-Has a 12x zoom
-It has a lot more features that I don't really use because I'm not that great at photography, but you might
for a full write up go to canon.com and search for the powershot sd 1100. :)

lol
Everyone seems to want me to get Canon
However my mom is a big Nikon person, so I'll probably end up getting something from Nikon.
The Color accent and color swap features are really, really, really tempting, though XD
