LX5 - Availability in Singapore & elsewhere
- Thread starter sircam
- Start date
The white body LX5 (not sure whether got black body) is being sold at $669 with 8GB Sd card and case at the Harvey Norman warehouse sale at EMS Building in Jurong this weekend.
They'll throw in a screen protector and mini tripod if you ask for it. I didn't ask, but think should be able to pay by credit card.
Parking is a bit of a hassle though, as quite crowded. Their ad stated it's just 5 mins walking distance from Joo Koon MRT.

over the weekend i saw selling in City Square, JB, saw the price tag RM 1899, so abt S$800 !!
Yes, in Dec in Subang Jaya, the best price offered was RM1899 with a Panasonic gift back of cleaning cloth, blower, etc...Pricing in Singapore is still better at S$660 or thereabout. I still don't understand why with a lower labor cost and lower office rental, the cost is still higher. Maybe the volume pushed out to consumers is lower, because Sgp has a lot of tourists buying. This is my experience even with DSLR. Only good thing is the Malaysian camera magazines - at RM9, the quality is 50% from UK and 50% from Msia. Good buy.
Around Xmas at The Gardens, Mid Valley (KL, Malaysia) I saw a shop selling Rm1'699 which is about S$680.
Reason why it is cheaper here is because we have no (or much less) import duty . . I think.
As for magazines, I think you will do well to subscribe directly. My motorcycle magazines come direct from the USA and each copy is about S$3 whereas the shops sell at $13 each!
The risk is that sometimes the magazines never arrive - I suspect someone here stole them cos the magazines come in clear plastic envelopes.

i bought mine for 630 at funan, i think it was cheap compared to other shop. comes with 8 gb sd card. but how much is the extra battery? he charged me for $70
$599 at MSC & buy 8G SD card from Giant at $20.90. Total=$620
$70 must be panasonic original battery.
I bought mine in Dec for $749 c/w mini tripod, 8gb sd, 16gb sd, original case, travel case, extra battery (non-original), cleaning kit and GARskin.
Does anyone know of a place that sells the right-size screen protector for LX5 and the staff can do a good job of applying it for me?
I also want to get a handstrap because don't like the neck strap provided. Any recommendation?
