On top of that I would say the Parisilk outlets are very reputable too.
 

I prefer:

TK Foto
Orient Photo
SLR Revolution

From past experience.

Alan Photo sometimes will chop, Cathay will usually have stock but is a bit more expensive, J3:16, don't like their style. MS Colour is just out of the way for me.
 

last week when I bought my 24-70.. all shop in Funan told me that Nikon prices had increase to an average of $2680... from $2500. But I went over to florence - MS Colour and got it at 2499.
 

i go to whoever offers me the lowest/most reasonable price, mainly:

TK Foto
MS Colour
Cathay Photo

for SLRR, J3:16, i don't like the way they work. OP, i haven't try them yet.

Cathay prices are higher when you walk in for a quote, however, the e-quotes that I've gotten from them are lower than the other shops most of the time.

Same.. J3:16 seems to me that they only know how to talk ****!! No offence to their supporters. juz my 2 cents

Ah. I did have trouble getting a ND106 from them for a reasonable price recently (~30-40% more than anywhere else, even with an e-quote and reminder that elsewhere was selling at a lower price), so maybe that's why I said that.

But they're fine, I don't mind going to them sometimes... But I do prefer Orient the most still, actually. :)

Yea for certain item you have to wonder where did they get the prices from, can be pretty high:)

Same here with b+w nano uv filter. About $200 when u can get for $80 but i suppose most stores make $ from selling higher margin filters.
 

HI PPL!!! haha I've been saving for a long time and I am gonna buy the new olympus pen soon!! haha does anyone know of good place to buy it? i wont wanna go like courts or harvey norman cause i feel those places dont really offer good deals? reccomendations anyone?
Read the sticky threads, really. Do take note that those shops offering the lowest price will try harder to sell you other stuffs on top to make up for the lower price. If you are not familiar with accessories chances are good you'll end up with a low price for cameras and getting merciless chopped with useless filters and and other crap. Always do your homework.
 

wow thanks guys! didnt expect so many replies on places and tips!! =D haha anyone knows how much does the olympus pen EP3 costs?? just the basic kit like camera, battery, pouch and all those
