I forgot to mention that last night we went to my favourite shopping mall, Mid Valley to "take a look" at some digital cameras. Both of us aren't great photographers and have in fact lived the last 6 years without any camera so we were not fussed about what kind of camera, as long as it's affordable and has a 3.2 megapixels.
The camera we had in mind was a Canon which was going for RM699 as advertised. What one shop had offered was a 128 memory chip plus a 3 year warranty which we thought was a pretty good offer. KS's friend mentioned to him to just check out the market price and let him know as he can get a better price from this other friend of his. So there we were, market researching.
We walked into the first shop and the offer was worse than the previous offer we were given so we walked on to the next shop. This was a proper camera/photo shop and was attended to by this late 40s Chinese man. Asking us what our budget was, he slowly convinced us that a Nikon for a RM110 more was more worth it. He was really good, except we didn't like the way he kept mentioning we were "lucky" to have stepped in at 9:30pm before the "offer" ended. And although by the time he finished his spiel, it was almost 9:45pm but he assured us he would "know what to do" and would still charge us RM810 instead of the displayed price of RM999.
In the end, we bought it. Why? Because it is a Nikon and it was a 4 megapixels plus it comes with a charger (apparently the Canon didn't come with one). So I excitedly read the manual and find it to be a bit complicated for someone who has never owned or used a digital camera much. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we have our first a digital camera! Woo-hoo! (uh, this exclamation apparently has a different meaning in Sims 2, which I will one day own)
