Where to get Canon G7 in Hong Kong
Hi, Guys,
I'll visiting Hong Kong soon and would like to pick up a Canon G7 while in town. Do you guys have any recommendation of which reliable and honest camera shop to go to, and how much does the G7 cost? I really hate the hassle of hard bargaining, or having to deal with all the hard sell techniques. Thanks! ls |

Where to get Canon G7 in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong you need to know a competitive or target price and be able to
keep this in mind with the currency conversion. The discounts available with bargaining are not all that spectacular but are several percentage points below what you can get from reliable vendors in America. You may also want to make certain that the warranty will be honored in your country of origin. No bargaining=no bargains. Most stores post a price that is merely a starting point and is higher than even they expect you to pay. |

Where to get Canon G7 in Hong Kong
Shops around Mongkok and Kowloon seem to offer better prices but not on the
gear just the accessories. I picked up a Domke bag for HK$880 (HK$13.50 = GBP1) half the price of one in the UK! You'd really be better off buying in Singapore for kit IME.

No I live in the UK for the present. I just have seen better deals in
Singapore than HK. It can be relative as currency has a part to play whether the currency you earn your money in is against the currency you're buying in has a stronger exchange rate.

I presume the good deals are to be had in Singapore, too. At eBay, I know of the two most popular (and reputable) online shops, DigitalRev and T-Dimension. They have off-line shops in HK, too. For example, DigitalRev quotes a price of HK$4300 (US$550) for G7, http://www.digitalrev.com/en/product...rency_code=HKD You can start from that. |

Where to get Canon G7 in Hong Kong
Years ago I used to deal with "CONY LTD" in Kowloon.
They were great and shipped stuff to me in NY saving me a bundle.
