    New battery or camera?
    Currently have a Fujifilm Finepix J20, which is roughly 3 years old.

    Charged the battery on Saturday and the charger claims it's charged. But it won't turn on at all. Will see if I can borrow dad's thing to see if there's any power at all in the battery.

    I love my camera. It's small enough for me to just chuck in my bag and use when out.

    Amazon are selling the battery for £8.95. Am I better off getting a new camera or just a new battery? A new camera is tempting; but probably don't use it enough to justify a new camera. There is nothing else wrong with the camera.

    The answer to this is obvious. Im struggling to see why you have even asked it.

    "Hmm, the brake pads in my car have been worn down. Better get a new car..."

    Fair point but the brake pad concept is worth remembering for once you are married and especially once kids start arriving. It can be applied to all sorts of shiny, glittering and techy things we just can't do without.
