I think on the whole cameras in Hong Kong are cheaper than in the US.

It's 800 USD exemption for US customs. Most people usually put a lesser amount on the customs declaration forum. The exemption was less around 300 - 400 USD before.  When it was less, I had to get fake receipts. Some of the cameras I am looking out for this year are Canon G12, Canon Pro2, Olympus EPL-2, Panasonic GF2, and Panasonic LX 5.  These cameras are all rumors to be out sometime in August, just before Photokina 2010.

I live in the USA... Having tried this before I have to say, just get your camera in the US. The price is about the same, and you're already there, so it should be easier for you. The question that you didn't ask, and one that I'm surprised nobody else has asked you yet is,  "Which camera do you want to get?" If your camera is going to be a punting accessory then it should have the following features: really good low light performance -- hotel rooms are dark places! very good image stabilization -- it's hard to hold a camera steady when your taking action shots of a HG riding you! actual buttons -- touch screen cameras are too fussy and just don't work well when you're trying to operate them one handed. good low light movie mode -- you never know when you'll get lucky! I suggest the new(ish) Sony DSC-HX5V. It's by far the best one that I've used for our "hobby". At least for the next few weeks, your best bet it to use a vendor you find through shopping.bing.com. They're offering extra cashback until the end of July. Here's a link to find vendors for the DSC-HX5V (http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=hx5v) Maybe once you get a good camera you'll be able to add a few of your own shots to the BBB thread! Good luck, and happy shopping! -G Recent Ratings Weelock   7-7-2010 14:07   Acceptance   +1   thks for reply & for Sony sugestion Don't flame me, I swear those insults were supposed to be taken as compliments!

Sorry Atomic, I haven't been in HKG in over a year, just got the camera last month. The shots I have that I could show are all personal. I promise that I'll post a torrent of photos using it next time I'm in town! I quick web search turned up some sample galleries, but this link to flikr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/minami/tags/hx5v/) has a huge number of shot using the camera. The first page shows some dark room auditorium shots that show how good the camera is in low light... -G Don't flame me, I swear those insults were supposed to be taken as compliments!

#30 Post at 7-7-2010 14:05  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #27 G-A-R-Y's post I have not looked at any Sony Cameras yet, thks.... Some of the cameras I am looking at are not out yet. I listed them in a post 26. I guess you missed it.   Canon G12, Canon Pro2, Olympus EPL-2, Panasonic GF2, and Panasonic LX 5.  These cameras are all rumors to be announced in August, just before Photokina Photo Show 2010. I agree with you, if the price is about the same, I would get it in the USA. There will be less trouble if something goes wrong. On other hand,  I will be in HK when these new cameras are on the shelves in Sept and I want something to take decent pictures.  I almost picked up the Canon G11 and LX 3 last year but the video on both are not that great. The size and pictures are great for both of these small camera. I will wait and see what are my options. [ Last edited by  Weelock at 7-7-2010 14:36 ]

BH is actually a store in Manhattan run by a Jewish consortium with huge inventories. Their pricing, even for the latest models, are usually cheaper than in HK.  For older models, they want to clear inventory quickly so the pricing is even more aggressive. Even Future Shop in Canada has better pricing than many HK stores, especially for DSLRs.

Which is a pretty sad statement in of itself, as FS doesn't have the best pricing in Canada. But there this little tax in Canada which makes quite the difference, and may make HK cameras cheaper, but probably not worth the hassle. Better to do online ordering from a place in U.S. that you reputable.

#36 Post at 9-7-2010 01:00  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #30 Weelock's post Have owned the GF1 now for 7 months and never been happier. Goose also uses the GF1 for his pictures in the forum. However, I just returned from a trip and a friend brought along the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV with a 100m f2.8 macro lens. Have never seen any camera take pictures as perfectly as the EOS-1D. Truly incredible camera and it handles well. Now, I want one for myself but when I found out how much it cost, it gave me a shock. Also, wonder how I can lug around such a monster along on a trip. Very tempted to take the plunge on this one. Have you heard of this camera and what do you think?

#38 Post at 9-7-2010 02:02  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #36 geoduck's post Wow, that monster is over 4300 USD body only. It retails for 4999 USD.  It's big and heavy too. Years ago, I had a big SLR, 35mm film. It was too big and heavy to carry around. Then Carrying around two lens wasn't fun. I have been reading some of the reviews for top end pocket camera. For the bigger cameras DSLR I have very little knowledge of. I don't think EOS 1D is the type of camera you lug around on vacations. Some of the rumors coming out, the LX 5 might have a fix lens with a 4/3 senors.  The Panasonic GF2 might be out in Oct or early next year.

If someone is serious about photography, the most important thing is the glass. The quality of lens makes a world a difference as the 100m f2.8 macro lens noted above is a excellent L-series lens. So definitely save a few bucks on the body and use it towards a nice set of lenses.
