Does anybody know the price difference of a Nikon D200 in Hong Kong, versus that of what can be bought at Hidalgo st. in Manila?

[Aquaenigma]

Just brought this afternoon the following at Henry's ( Hidalgo St. )

 

Canon A550 = P 9,000.00 ( in the malls and other places this range from P 10,500-13,000)

1GIG Memory Card = Php 700.00

4 pcs Sanyo Ni-MH 2700 = PhP 440

Mini Tripod (in red) = PhP 300

Camera Casing (in red) = PhP 200

All in all i just spent P 10,640

 

very cheap indeed and i dont mind the heat so as the other people (risk na madukutan) in going there

the store is just small yet packed with a lot of customers :thumbsupsmiley:

 

another tip:

sa may ari (owner) kayo magtanong ng presyo coz pwde na pa i adjust ang price kung makikiusap kayo\

 

 

hope this helps

 

cant wait to post the pixs that i guna take.. but for now wala pang maayos na pix at matinong subject akong nakukunan coz pinag aaralan ko pa ang pag aadjust ng mga setting

I have my eyes on the Kodak Camera with Bluetooth. This is the start of something BIG!

hi mga bro's buying cameras in quiapo is really less expensive compare to malls, but be sure to ask for a local warranty and you will notice that the price will go up a little, the reason i say this , bec most of the stores in quiapo have grey units ready and most of us naturally goes for the lowest price .

 

the fall back of a grey unit is no warranty or they will say have to ship it to HK for repair and its gona cost you the cargo .

 

take NIKON dslr for example , the local distributor publish on the papers that to look for a sticker w their seal , but shops in quiapo that offer the lowest price doesn't have seal of columbia.

 

investing a 30k up needs to have lots of serious thinking for no regrets , maybe in a month the sensor got smudge or crack , then you will cry !!!

Wanna try photography... Gotta buy a decent DSLR first...

[noypi^]

its not the equipment dude! it is what you have inside you

 

as what the famous saying goes, it's not the pana but the indian

[girlontop]

quick question...

 

I'm just about to start with photography and I want to invest wisely. I need your opinion.

 

Nikon D80 vs. Canon Rebel xti vs. Sony Alpha 100?

 

At 21, I guess I saved a lot for this. I just wanna make sure that I make a good investment.
