Thumbs up Buying Canon equipment in Hong Kong

Cheaper than SG no doubt. Wonder if:

1. There's a camera shop in HK that offers online purchasing, and of course, delivery to Singapore.
2. There's a CS'er who's s going to HK in the next few days/weeks. Can ask to buy lenses for us.

Oh well...

Called HK Wing Shing 2 days ago. EOS 5D with 24-105mm F4 at only HKD$22700. That works out to be only SGD$44XX. Sounds good?

Hi
Was thinking of getting the 40D in HK but not the grey set. How do I get my friend to identify whether it is a grey set? What is the price difference between a grey set and normal one?

Also the warranty will be international warranty?

Appreciate advise.

AFAIK, cameras bought in HK don't carry international warranty. More like HK, China & Macau. The lenses do though.

'Grey' means sets that are not brought in by the authorised distributor/importer. Thus any set bought outside of Singapore is a grey set. Sets with international warranty always carries a higher price.

I just cameback from HK. 40D kit II selling for HKD11740 (approx. S$2270), free 2GB card, screen protector, tripod (dunno wat type). 2 yrs HK warranty.

SG now selling for approx $2590, hence, up to you to decide if the $300 savings is worth it.

I didn't buy in HK as I would rather pay slightly more for such big ticket item for peace of mind.
