I recently purchased a camcorder from SONG Brothers in Sim Lim Sq.but I think I may off been ripped off/conned.

Its a Vitacon Professional 0.45x(37mm Titanium 1045N, the sales person told me its worth S$320 and sold it to me for S$260.

Can anyone tell me how much its really worth?

You may also want to avoid Compact Electronics. Was ripped off $12 for a $4 battery. When confronted, they told me to report them to the authorities if I want to.
