The original shopping guide and the related information is located in http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/consumers-corner/635497-hong-kong-camera-gears-shopping-guide.html

Please refer to the thread's first 2 pages for the HK Shopping Guide Information.

It has been more than two years since I have created this thread. I am glad to see that the information provided here is continuing to help fellow CSers in preparing their HK visits. I would continue to provide answers as best as I can in this new thread. Please continue to share your HK shopping experience here.

In the future, I will use these first two posts to provide new updates.

Most camera stores will carry this converter. I don't think it is being listed anywhere other than perhaps tincheungcamera.com.hk

Maybe you should get a rough idea how much it is selling in SG before coming over so you can make a decision on whether to get it in HK?

Yes, HK does have similar forums. You can take a look at:

Not quite sure about video tripod as I am not into it. But my guess will be ShamShuiPo Apliu Street. There are quite a few camera accessories shops that sell China brand tripod and lighting equipment.

Went to Cathay Photo (Marina Square) last weekend and was quoted $300 for this lens so would get locally if I were u.

CS,
regarding buying Leica M9, is it a good deal to buy from HK? thks

 

[CS TAN]

Not too sure about SG price since I have been away for almost 2 years. Perhaps you can check this website to do a price comparison:

The best place to start is

香港格價網 Price.com.hk

and look for gray sets if you do not intend to claim warranty from Canon HK since most of the current batch of EF lenses from Canon will only have local warranty.

Hi, I will be visiting Hongkong in mid of Apr. Planning to buy my first DSLR - nikon D3100/D5100...Have got mixed advices on buying the camera from HK as most of the shops would give local warranty and not international one. Being an amatuer in DSLR - This local warranty has raised doubts on buying the cam in HK..

Looking for suggestions from the experts over here in the Forum ::

(1) Should I go for it to buy in HK ?
(2) D3100 or D5100 - which one is better for an amatuer?

Thanks

Tokina offical Hong Kong comes with 3 years Hong Kong warranty and 2 years international warranty. You need both to claim international warranty with the receipt.

Yes. It is grey set and the shop provide shop warranty instead. Generally if there is no international warranty for it, it might be worth buying the grey sets. Buy your stuffs during the first day of your trip and test it throughout the trip and change it if there is issue.
