I've bought my kit from the Mong Kok electronics street, right east of the MTR station where all the stores are. Have to walk through the brand name stores listed on the http://www.ygdragon.net/photo/cameraprice.htm site to find out the best price.

Broadway
Citicall (just changed it's name, can't remember to what)
Fortress
Wing Shing (http://www.wingshingphoto.com/)


I'll recommend reading the professional but practical lens reviews at http://the-digital-picture.com
http://dpreview.com/ is probably the most popular site, but I find those reviews too technical for a common man.

This could be a very good all-purpose lens that covers a good range from wide angle to 55mm at wide f/2.8 aperture and image stabilizer. Price over HK$7000 though.

The Tamron and Sigma lens are worth looking into for better value.

This high quality Canon L series lens is listed at Ygdragon.net at HK$7600, and would cover a big range from wide to zoom. The f/4 aperture requires more light, but image stabilizer will help in low light as long as you don't need fast shutter speed to stop motion.

For taking photos of girls in dark hotel rooms, a 50mm prime with wide aperture is your best friend. The f/1.4 is listed at HK$2860, and f/1.8 just HK$700.
