From the info gathered here, AP is good if you know them well and / or have done your homework on prices and product knowledge. Otherwise, I would recommend Cathayphoto.

Check your prices, get an equote etc and insist and check for valid Nikon Singapore warranty card and dealer stamp and you'll be alright.

Want to purcahse using a credit card instalment scheme...only the following offer it
1. Cathay-Only OCBC Cards
2. Alan Photo- DBS, UOB,Amex & Diner
3. MS Color- Only UOB/ Diners cards

Would have gone for CP, but have only DBS card...lah..so a bit worried

With credit card installment plan, i don't think they can offer you the same price as if you pay upfront in cash/nets. Do check with the respective merchants what the price would be if you do an installment plan. Surely you don't want to get a rude shock during your purchase day.

Well... I would assume they would be using the prices for credit card (if there is a difference, I know Alan Photo & MS Colour would, not too sure about Cathay)... installment is just for us... they still received the $$$ from credit card centre when we puchase...
