Sorry to post such a boring question, but my Canon 1000D (about 4 years old) has the dreaded non-specific error 99 showing and won't shoot any more. I've tried the usual tricks - cleaning contacts, changing memory card, changing battery, but no joy.
Rather than forking out for a repair, should I take this as a chance to upgrade to something like the 600D which has lower noise (important to someone who takes exposures of up to 3 minutes) and a fancy swivelly screen?
