After a bit of help please guys..
I have an 11 year old Canon EOS 300d, which I mainly use for car show photos, only amateur stuff for our club website etc.
It's been a great camera but lately it seems to over-expose a lot of photos when the light is bright, and the flash seems to pop up too even on bright sunny days. Some photos don't seem so sharply focussed as they used to either.
Pictures are usually taken on full auto, with the standard Canon 18/55 lens.
Any ideas?
Do digital cameras gradually wear out?
Might it be the lens rather than camera? I'm not sure if the lens has been damaged as it got accidentally twisted slightly recently.
