Well it all depends on individual as i have said.
sandisk hg-duo(30mb/s) 16gb going at $79 at sitex bizgram.
8gb is $42 i think
tripod wise mostly would end up buy another one i believe, but it still depends if u would even use it at all :sweat:
screen protector is probably ~$10 if u DIY, in shop its probably $15~$20.
there u could probably bargain for some more freebies like cleaning kit n stuff i think if u do not have one, compare to shop which probably would not give any, esp after giving such a discount. so overall it might be even cheaper sometimes, i once saw someone bargain for a dry cabinet instead of the dry box
but shopping at sitex requires going to expo, queuing, squezzing/pushing with others, shouting to get yourself heard sometimes, rude salesperson and being rushed to purchase.
as compare to regular shop where u can take ur own sweet time to try and test with salesperson who would service u and building rapport with the shop to be your regular shop.
yes, sometimes the regular shop does not give u better prices but its the overall service and experience that provide u, that is invaluable compared to some those part-timers at the sitex show.
my 2c, at the end have your own take on price vs service.
