Wow! 21 years old, started in 19. You cannot find any 3d enthusiasts any
younger than that!

Don't worry. At 21 you still have an entire life in front of you. But what
kind of camera were you using and what kind of damage does it have? I bet
it was not a Realist ;) These cameras last for ever!
>What would you recommend me which camera to buy next?
In my opionion, you get the best investment for your money if you buy a
good solid 50s stereo camera from the USA today. Here in the US these
cameras are relatively inexpensive thanks to ample supply and low demand.
They are well-built, fully manual and will serve you for many years to
come. Check the postings in sell-3d. Reconditioned stereo cameras appear
for sale from time to time at good prices.
