Hanoi Camera Stores

[walltakespigchairs]

This is obviously not the usual question about where to photosupplies. If anyone has been to Hanoi recently knows of any decent camera store selling Digital P&S or shops at the airport (Hanoi International) please do share info.

I'm looking for a modest ixus or lumix to use alongside my fe2. Reason being is that i don't wish to add to my luggage weight a D200 body but i want to have some digital shots of the place.

If you think that getting it locally in Singapore doesn't make much of a difference in terms of price then kindly do tell me before i go there and see that all they have in vietnam are box cameras and leftover war leicas.

Better get it here. Digital cameras are a luxury there, and priced accordingly.

Good deals on war-time leicas though.

better check out photo.vn or vnphoto.net for second hand and film camera. Last time I saw a Yashica TLR @ 80$, or Nikon manual Lens like 70-200 f2.8 @ 150$ . It is quite difficult to find a store that have good stuff in Vietnam, or in Hanoi, since everybody doesn't want to sell their cameras outside the community.

For TS, I think any camera shop along Trang Thi street, or Hang Bai street ( near Ho Guom in vietnamese or Sword lake in english ) could be OK. Don't know whether they can speak english well or not.
