How much are digital cameras in PI?

[EdwardB]

Totally agree, Hong Kong is Camera Heaven for any serious amateur photographer but warranty is a problem ----

Mid range point and shoots have also not been hit quite so hard but have still been affected by the exchange rate against the Yen.

Hong Kong airport is much more expensive than the UK for just about any item at the moment let alone cameras.

In HK you can buy cameras with or without an International warranty. With warranty they are more expensive than in the UK - I know because I had to replace my Fuji Finepix F200 when the LCD screen failed overnight on a BA flight to HK a couple of months back. Even more galling was that it was a business purchase (Genuine) so in The UK I could also reclaim the VAT. So the price differential was even bigger.

If you take a chance on the warranty in Mong Kok or Wanchai even at the current exchange rate you could probably shave 10% of the best UK internet prices, or get a bundle of goodies like spare battery, memory card, case or tripod thrown in.
