Hi, Heard that Hong Kong could be cheaper for cameras. If price is right, hoping to upgrade from my 5D. Does anyone know what the price for A700 body only over there ? Any reputable shops to recommend ? Any tips on what to look out for buying camera there ? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot! HM |

As mentioned by bros, Citicall and Wing Shing, both in Sai Yeung Choi Street are reputable shops. There may be other shops in the same street selling at slightly lower prices. To note, of course, is the warranty. Make sure you get the receipt AND the Sony blue international warranty slip. Other than that, just make some test shots. BTW, while A700 is a great camera, do note that it is not full frame like your Canon 5D (A900 is). |

Hello Bros, Thanks so much for the quick response. Very much appreciated. Yes, I'm using KM5D, not the Canon 5D ![]() Will check the market rate here in Singapore 1st for comparison. It's still going for $1799 at IT show y'day....and most of the freebies are no use to me. Thank you all! HM |

Pardon me KM5D is a good camera, how long have u been using it?As pointed out by bro eow, the prices might not be so attractive in HK now that the exchange rate has risen. I've been told that camera bodies in neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia is competitive ![]() Moreover, there is rumour of an A800. Might want to wait it out a little bit? (though that might take up to a year hahaha) |

Yes, have been happy with KM5D...bought it in 2005... for .hobby, family and holiday shoots....prior, was using 600si, then 7i The camera has more capabilities than the photographer (me) ... so the bottleneck is definitely not on the camera side.But just have been very tempted by the improved AF on the A700. Full frame dslr will be out of my budget....and overkill for amateurs ![]() Not die die must buy...but at least will check it out since i am going HK for holi. Thanks! HM |
