Cheapest country for camera and lenses etc (overall)

[toroluce]

Hongkong & indonesia/Jakarta

for hongkong, mongkok is the one stop place u need to look for ur cam gears, i've only dealt with DCPower & Echo, they're both hv quite good price & ok service, look at CS TAN's thread it's super2 helpful http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=635497 :thumbsup:

for indonesia/Jakarta try http://jpckemang.com/ & http://tokocamzone.com/, you would also would like to check out mangga dua mall

For Indonesia I'll add the following often recommended stores. Just need to ensure to buy with the Datascrip warranty (Canon authorised distributor)

I came across some Chinese website that ship cameras at a cheap price are they reliable? eg a Canon EOS 7D going for S$1000/=.

As the saying goes "If it seems too good to be true ... it probably is"

There are incentives for pple who sells fakes at real prices to gain dirty profit but to sell real at fake low prices ... wat incentive is there ?? accumulate good karma for the good deed ?? ;p even loot batches wun be that cheap i guess ??
