How much are digital cameras in PI?

The last time I was in HK Airport duty free area, I purchased an external 80 gig Hitachi mini hard disk drive for my laptop.

It was only £38, a huge saving from UK prices at the time.

Totally agree, Hong Kong is Camera Heaven for any serious amateur photographer but warranty is a problem and there was a dramatic rise in prices of items like lenses back in January; Canon added 50% across the board to lens prices and Nikon was not far behind, DSLR body prices were hit as well but not by so much.

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.

The Phils was a little cheaper last year for some top end kit but not enough to make it worth it, most electronics are cheaper and more modern in the UK particularly IT kit like memory, hard drives, motherboards and so on. (obviously you can get the latest kit anywhere it's just that it tends to be much more expensive to buy the latest and greatest in the Phils)

Good choice triple5 on the wee Fujifilm FinePix A170 you'll be very happy with that I'm sure.
