Mongkok Simcity 2nd floor has a dedicated Sony store.

The main shops have Sony stuff as well, usually at very good prices. And in most cases you can bargain too.

If you declare it and want to pay the 7% GST then you don't need to unpack it.

thanks for the recommendation fellows.

I have bought my A350 and Zeiss 16-80 from Hong Kong last weekend(BTW. that's my main purpose of visiting HK). As what most bros mentioned here. Citicall and WingShing has one of the best prices around. I bought my lens and body at different place cos citicall ran out of Zeiss 16-80.

Got body A350 at 4450 HKD(approx sgd 776) and lens at 4750(approx sgd 831), lens a bit more ex cos ran out of stock in most places. Bloody good deal compared to
SG prices, you do the maths~

I have got my warranty converted to International warranty at Sony HK which took me just a 3 mins. A very chio service consultant approached me to jump queue since i'm doing only a warranty conversion. Their service standard in HK is excellent. Haven't experienced anything like this in SG before.

The last i've checked, they are having a promo for A300, which hit below 4000HKD mark. Budget conscious buyers will find it a very enticing purchase!

Sony SG should employ more chio service consultants

Sometime SSC is a bit slow at time.

I notice that KM/SONY cameras tend to get fooled by this type of shots... it's pretty underexposed... a digicam might even get the exposure spot on...

Contrast problem..
