Frustration...

I've been thinking (well using some of my free times) about what I should get for myself this year.. A new laptop or a new camera?? Recently I found myself very attracted to cameras; in terms of taking pictures (camho-ing moments and also candid-ing other) and making stories out of pictures (lecturer told me 1 picture = 1000words @.@). However, the current one that I'm using is giving me quite a number of problems. At the same time, I really need a new laptop; my current one which is about 5 years of age (old already) needs to retire from tagging along side by side with me.


Both my current laptop and camera have their own problems:

Camera:

1. Slow in taking pictures
2. Without flash, the amount of noise capture is "HEAVY", making pictures darn blur
3. When taking with flash, everything in the background becomes darker (and NO, photoshop does not help in making it brighter)
4. Taking candid pictures is difficult as the recycling time for the flash is long
5. Cannot take pictures in the night (you don't see much)
6. Cannot take pictures that is moving (even with flash on)
7. Zooming makes the picture quality bad
8. Limited number of modes within the camera
9. Very troublesome, each time take a picture, editing is needed to re-correct the background colors.
10. It's a slide on-off camera and its slider is loose!

Laptop:

1. Old and slow (low in memory and processing speed)
2. USB port is now problematic (can't detect anything: is said to be hardware failure) and now have to use an external USB (USB PCMCIA)
   
3. Internet Connectivity is weird (when others can detect and connect to any network, mine can't! and vice versa)
4. Cannot play games (my integrated graphics sucks!)
   
5. Lagging when I'm doing my work (when I'm rushing to type notes, it lags! by about 2-3 seconds)
6. Heavy
7. Can't fully utilize it in battery mode (battery life is quite low even when fully charged)
   
8. Doing work while running on battery is dangerous (my battery compartment is loose)
9. Upgrades are very expensive
10. Speakers are cracking
    

Boy, I've lots to complain about the both of them ei? Sorry lor, I know you both have been very loyal partners in crime.. However, you "guys" are not really catching up to my speed.. How can a robber runaway if the vehicle is slow? Take a cab or bus meh? OMIGOSH don't tell me to ride a bicycle??

Aiyo.. Headache headache.. For now I can only choose one. Which one? Camera or Laptop?
Both also important to me. Laptop is important but camera is cheaper (3 camera = 1 laptop)
But if I buy camera, I still have some cash to spend on my daily expenses.. How ler, How ler??

@.@ lost in frustration.. Can anyone help me?
