I saw the advertisement in the newspaper stated that Olympus FE-230 priced at rm688. The store that sell at this price is E-Mart at Jalan Pasar. But other stores like Fotokem, Bintang, mostly stores sell at rm799. The price vary quite a big range, so is it got anything wrong with the one in E-mart?

Priced high - Grumble, complaint. Priced low - Suspect. I wonder what's wrong with our mentality these days.

Well, ask them if its warranty is from the manufacturer. Cameras are basically duty free, so you are unlikely to find grey imports.

Fotokem sell at high price lorrr... 688 and 799 not a big different and that's normal only. for example..fotokem sell rm2700 for EOS 400D and i bought it at 2400 pnly at others stores..

Just one shop is selling at higher price than the other. That's why you need to survey and bargain when buying a camera
