Does anyone know of any good and trustworthy online camera shops?
I've come across this http://www.safrottobags.com.
The prices are pretty decent, and with shipping and conversion, can actually be cheaper than what we can find in our local shops here.
thanks

Hi, is this a reliable online store? Have you bought anything from there?

Thinking of buying a DSLR from there.

Thanks in advance.

There are 3 very reputable online camera store out of the US. The largest, in terms of revenue, is B&H. The other two are Sammy's and Adorama. All 3 are large businesses, and not going to try to cheat you for a few bucks. Not worth it to them.

Many of the smaller outfits are also very reliable. However, if you find a deal too good to be true, it is generally too good to be true, and you should be careful.
 

Thanks to all. Good info for me. Appreciate it.

5% GST if value of imported stuff is > S$400, IIRC.

You want trustworthy sites? Remember to check the sellerratings. There are US based websites that will rate the online merchants.
