and

these two are probably the most popular camera shops in Taipei for the recent several years.

Both are within walking distance from the Taipei MRT system.

Hualien leh....Big Camera is nowhere near.... It's at Shilin MRT. Not the cheapest but most of the guys are quite knowledgeable. There's a Shabu-Shabu restaurant at the end of traffic junction. Heavenly!

e-What is slightly further north at Zhishan MRT. Not the cheapest but service is good. The pretty models u see on their pages are the ladies owning the shop. Very friendly bunch. The shop is always very crowded in the evenings. Price fixed but can get freebies

Oops didn't see taipei "or" hualien...haha sorry my bad.

But if buy camera I will go to a warehouse building that does direct import and sales. It's at Nanshijiao MRT (i think).... near the Sogo there. Not easy to find your way if you not familiar with taipei.
