I usually buy my cameras in Georgetown in Penang, when I do my Visa trips.
There are not as many shops like in Singapore, but prices are very competitive, there are a few shops in Prangin Mall.
I bought my digital camera 50 % cheaper than in Sweden, although it was an old model and it was on sale!
Normally I think they are about 15-20 % cheaper than my home, depends on your bargaining skills as well!
Cheapest place in Thailand to buy electronics I think is Hat Yai, because of the easy access to Malaysia and also lots of malaysian tourists visiting.

As mentionned before:
Did you get an international warranty or a Malaysian, as this is the problem with the cheapest cameras in Singapore???
