Has the price of cameras in Hong Kong gone up?

[natnivek]

Hello all,

I was hearing some things about camera prices in Hong Kong getting higher. Anyone here that just came back from there can verify this?

So is it still worth it to get lenses & flashes from there?

Thanks!

I just came back last week, the prices were higher, so I did not buy anything, came home empty handed, lucky or unlucky?

I think so too, will be there this Friday again. Industry rumors is because RMB has unpegged from US, this appreciation has some affect on the HKD, hence will see some price increase.

Just curious, but are the prices higher than back here in SG?

Want to get something from HK.

Anybody know the addresses of the shops there?

Other people say that Disneyland is open now so they're jacking up the price to target mainlander tourists.
