Yup, I think I have mentioned this before, the problem does not solely fall on these so called "sales persons". Us Asians are probably the more picky and bargain hungry type of customers, and perhaps dealing with us all day can get tiring very quickly. But if you take a step back and look at the...

I can not comment on the camera shops in HK on my recent (4 months agao) trip, as unfortunately I didn't have enough time to visit them. I was mostly refering the staff working in their restuarnts, even the "high-end" places. But I must say the customers were just as rude, so I guess its...

My gripe with most of the Singapore’s camera shops is not so much if they give a good price or not, but rather the embarrassingly rude attitude towards customers (even to obvious tourists). My original question remains mostly un-answered, and that’s: why are these people working in camera...

Yes thats very true! Thanks for the tip. I recently got the Canon D10 (underwater compact) which was under $500 from Best as they had a big promo at Vivo, and I was amazed at the amount of goodies I got from both Best and Canon itself. I literally had bagS of goodies loll..

I think the whole "knowing if you are serious buyer or not" attitude is bit childish and just laziness. Many times, I'm confronted with "are you going to buy or not?" I simply just say, "if the price is right, then of course". We the customers go to these camera shops to negotiate a good deal...

I get what you are saying, and totally agree. Rude customers are just as bad as rude sales person. There is just no need for it. But in the end of the day, that’s their chosen job, no one is forcing them to be there. So I say just man up. It’s a vicious cycle: bad service > bad customers >...

Indeed, its a real shame. I can understand that attitude if they were selling cheap items like fruit etc... but not for what I consider as "high-end"/expensive items. Most of them definitely needs to learn a thing or two about class. Last week a friend (local) and I were looking for a tripod...

Yes, I'm yet to give John316 a try, heard some good things from that place in terms with service. I have also learnt to call up before heading out. But don't get me wrong, I don't mind a little haggling dance as long as both sides gives a little, and comes to an agreement (not the lowest price...

In case anyone is wondering, the lens I bought from MS is not grey, has warranty etc. :) Just a shame its so out of place to bring visitors, but okay for us "locals".

Hello this is my first post, although I have been lurking for a few months now. Very nice forum. I've been living in SG for 5 months now and have visited many many camera shops, and bought gear from a range of places. The best experience I had was with MS color @ 711. Right off the bat, I was...
