You’ll never have enough digital cameras, and sometimes I found having a cheap digital camera to carry around is very useful. You can always use the camera on your phone (unless you are like me who is still using an ancient Nokia with monochrome screen), but the shots are usually not satisfactory.

Aldi Australia is having this week’s special buys, and their $99 Traveler Digital Camera looks like a great throw-around camera to me. 5 megapixels. 1.5″ LCD view finder. 16Mb internal memory and 4x digital zoom. Powered by 2x AA batteries and comes with 3 year warranty.

Hopefully it takes SD cards, though it’s not mentioned on the product page.

Another cheap buy from Aldi’s latest special would be this mini wireless USB mouse for $20. It’s a typical RF wireless mouse, but a mini version for notebook users/travellers.

The Aldi sales start on Thursday 19 October 2006, while stocks last.

I think what excites me is, that there’s going to be a new Aldi store close by. Vivian went to Eastlake shopping centre last week (less than 1km from my place), and the old Franklins is shutting down, and will be replaced with a new Aldi store. Great news (for those live in Kingsford/Kensington/Eastlake/Mascot area)!! The Franklins is pretty much redundant anyway as there’s also a Woolies in the same shopping mall.

Aldi is going to open a new shop in Pacific Square Maroubra I heard. Suddenly there’s going to be two new Aldi’s around the place I live. Hmmm :)
