It's settled.

And thus it's settled. Decision made. I'm keeping the camera. I've even bought a memory card for it. A 1GB one summore. And I'm contemplating getting an extension of warranty for an additional charge.

Cost of camera: AUD 198
Cost of memory card: AUD 43.48
Possible cost of extended warranty: AUD 34.95
TOTAL cost (inclusive of possible warranty): AUD 276.43
Conversion to RM (based on 1:3): ~RM 830

Guess that's not too bad huh.

Yaaaaaaaaaaayyy...I am now officially the proud owner of a brand new digital camera.

Credit must definitely go to my ever faithful Di Di, who, due to my tardiness, walked around Civic and into Dick Smith and saw the camera, and told me about it. For without the knowledge of its existence, I wouldn't even have bought it in the first place.
