Canon Malaysia reduced its RRP, prices for lens & bodies are dirt cheap now in MY!


I bought a lens from Johan photo. Was told that it's a international warranty.

So can bring to singapore CSC. The shop is in Malaysia. :)

er , did u buy the lens before october last year or recently.

Btw please note mee too at angsana is quite small. The big flagship store near jusco will have a lot more stock.

Jusco branch is big but nothing much inside.

The shop scary too, go up 3rd floor & they lock the gate.

Is the warranty card green?

Yea is a green colour slip thats say canon camera international warranty.

I bought it during last august.

Din know that they stopped giving out this "green card" I am lucky! :)

Yea, lucky you.

Canon already announce a stop to international warranty on lenses starting from last oct.

@Conan86: the thing about buying in Msia since the price is similar to HK is that when you need to send in for warranty, you dont have to buy an air ticket.

Omg! That means if we were to buy lens from Johan photo!

No more international warranty! Must go all the way to JB for servicing! That's so inconvenient man.

Where's the nearest CSC in Malaysia?

International warranty with receipt from overseas shop = covered as long as no physical damages etc etc.

If no international warranty is the same as a local out of warranty set..
 

I'm afraid too, especially when i dun drive .. walking around with lots of cash is definitely not a good option. am looking for friends or maybe any Cser who wants to go in together to get their gears. anyone??

that's why i proposed a group trip like maybe 5-7 people depend on the type of car and go in together..
passengers should fork out certain amount to cover the petrol cost..
with many people going in,it should be safer..
but must make sure that the shop has got all the things everybody wanted rather than shuffling around..
most important the price must be justifiable..
iam pretty interested actually..

Actually i will be going in mid May on a weekend, maybe sat.

Anyone interested can join me, PM me. And we can get quote from Johan photo. More people more bargain power.

Transportation can be arranged. Maybe 20RM per pax? Can get my relative to drive us there? Only limited seats and for serious buyer only!

P.S this is only the initial stage of planning, nothing is confirm, join at your own interest.

Count me in. I am game!
 

I think we should consolidate a list of interested parties and when it comes nearer to the date,
we will depend on how many confirmed person and decide on the transportation(like how many cars needed)..
we will try to squeeze in maximum number of people a car can carry..
those who are willing to drive in can state that u will be driving..
and also pls put down the item(s) you are interested in so that we can consolidate the quantity for each item and negotiate on the price..

Objective of this trip:
1).Malaysia price dip on canon products.
2).More people going in to reduce the risk of danger being imposed.
3).More people buying so we might be able to lower the prices.
4).Making new friends and share some photography tips.


Date:Mid of May 2011(Saturday)
Time:TBC
Shop:TBC(can someone pls volunteer to try and source for the cheapest shop?)

1).Jazzmint90
2).Kenji87(Tentatively)
3).JusMe
4).Turbonetics(Tentatively) 50mm F1.4,70-200mm F2.8 MK2 IS

Date:Mid of May 2011(Saturday)
Time:TBC
Shop: Johan photo ( I trust this shop, and my relative know the boss, maybe more neg)

1).Jazzmint90 24-105mm 4L IS/24-70mm 4L IS(TBC)
2).Kenji87(Tentatively)
3).JusMe
4).Turbonetics(Tentatively) 50mm F1.4,70-200mm F2.8 MK2 IS

From what I know their price is negotiable, just get a quote and push the price further. Will call up the boss to inform him we are coming and check ready stock! I can only provide up to 5seats. (TBC) if more cars are needed, can get more relative who stay there, around 20RM per pax( to and fro johan photo) I dun really like taking stranger cab within JB, they will take chance to chop u up for high price but short distance.

But If your want to take an easy way back home. there is also cab available from JB custom back to sg, around $10-15 per pax, directly back to your house! This one I have taken before.
 

Hi People,

i have read this thread and went into Msia today to check out the price. Have went to KSL and Tebrau City Jusco. Got the quote for the 17-55, 24-105, 24-70 and 10-22.
Below is the quote i get for those lens. It runs in the sequence as above and all are in RM.

Foto Ana 3400, 3850, 4800, 2300
Foto CLS 3420, 3930, 4850, 2349
Mee Too 3950, 4400, 5500, 2800
Camera Zone 3950, 4400, 5500, 2800

Hope this helps...
Btw, anyone noes the price for these lenses in SGP? Can someone send me the price so i can compare whether it is worth it to get from Msia or Sgp. Msia offer 1+1yr warranty and it's nearest service centre is roughly 20mins drive from Causeway. The best exchange rate that i can find while driving around today, 23 Mar is $237.50 in Taman Sentosa.

Regards
