camera

My camera is dying soon... battery newly charged up, after a short while, the display shows battery depleting...*sobs* Here's a link for similar problem but different camera model... still powershot series though..

Today, finally realised what an extended warranty from Harvey Norman means. It means, you'll still have to send to Canon customer service, get a quotation and then confirm whether that repair work is under warranty or not. If not, then pay it yourself. May have to pay diagnostic fee as well... *sobs* If it's covered under the extended third party warranty, then still have to pay for the repair first, then make a claim back. *sobs*

Below are the two models that I'm considering for now, if still getting Canon. Ixus 230 HS is the latest model and its difference with powershot sx230 is the zoom (8x versus 14x) and GPS where people also had complained about. If GPS is turned on, it means the number of shots taken before battery is dead is just about 150 shots. That is pretty low since I've managed to do 700 shots with the old A2000IS.
