Searching For New Camera, HELP!

Dear oh dear...Days without my babey (digital camera) are so dull. I can't stand facing this dull life any longer. I miss my babey! I want it! Ever since dad brought my Sony babey to home from a lucky draw event, we feel like a family. The bond is so strong between my family and my babey and I thought we will never be apart. Gosh! Too much of sentimental feeling here.Anyway, I'm looking for a new digital camera from Sony as I don't wanna waste my memory sticks and battery. I can use them again right?Here are a few models which have caught my eyes. Do give me your opinion if you're a digital camera expert. I need one. Emmmm.... So, let see the model shall we?Among all the models available in Sony starting from H series, S series, T series and W series, I prefer the T series. I guess I love the design, bright colour and most importantly, it is blogging friendly. Well, I am a blogger right? Hahaha...So, there are 5 of them and here is the list:

Retail Price: RM1,599.00My comment: Ahhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwww..... 5X optical zoom? Wait wait wait.... with underwater mode as well? Are you sure? I can go diving together with this digital camera? Slap me please!*ouch*Eikss!The DSC-T300/R is so much better with underwater mode! Slap me again!I can't effort something like.. RM 1,600! It's too expensive and I can't effort it. It's like a DSLR price. Sigh.... the reason why I don't get a DSLR is because of its price. I can get one around RM1,500. Of course it is better than normal digital camera. However, no one will feel complete without external flash and lenses (even a tripod). So, when we add up all the cost, it will be around RM2500++In order to save myself from being broke, it's better for me to get a normal digital camera. By the way, I can't imagine myself bringing the bulky DSLR together with me in the shopping mall, food court, cinema and even party.So, a light digital cam is good enough for me. Wait until I work and start travelling the world. Then I will consider buying a DSLR.. hihihi..... :)Right now, I am thinking of T700 (the pink of) as it is so cool! better mega pixels, 4X optical zoom and 4GB of internal memory. Ahhwwww..... I want this! But frankly, RM 1,500 is expensive. Maybe I shall pick the T70 - RM 1,099. At least, the features are much better than my previous one - my babey..Well, if you have any suggestion, do let me know. Or if you know where I can get a cheaper price for this product or discount, do leave a comment or email me. I need an expert in this case.Thank you.:)
