Anyone noticed that the 430exII price have been increased by more than 30%? It used to go for around $360 few months ago. They seem to have increased the price of the 85L also.....maybe they realised they priced too low?:think:
they push up the price this evening by 100+ to 300+ on all lens and acc
not sure if those shops will do the same
Yes, indeed they increased their retail price. the Canon EF 50mm 1.8 II cost $124 last week. Now, when i check again its already $189. Could it be because of the happenings in japan wherein supply has been disrupted? thats why they increased prices.
By the way, our fellow Canon'ers across the causeway just had a celebration few days ago, most of the lenses went down in price across the board by 15%-30%. It really made me wonder what caused this round of price hike by DDE :think: Totally opposite.
They hike price also good lah, now I don't need to consider already, just buy local warranty set. Don't need to crack my head anymore in deciding whether to buy from them or my favourite shop selling Canon warranty set.
Hope their shop won't be closed down that soon :bsmilie:

Replica said:If DDE closed shop, it will no longer provide shop warranty for past customers.:sweat:
pachero said:Yup just checked with my favourite shop. It is cheaper than our local shops, around $100, and comes with 2 yrs warranty. I was checking on 17-40. Basically u will get lens at around DDE rate before hike in price, but with 2 yrs canon warranty.
Care to share with me where and what shop is this?am seriously looking for a good shop across the causeway..
Sure. Not sure if this is OT, but for the benefit of all CSers. This is my usual shop

Look for Anthony (the boss) or Remy. This shop is also highly recommended in similar forum across the crossway for Johorean.
The only setback is that this shopping mall is not as populated as other bigger malls. For me I never stay there for more than half an hour. I buy and go.If you can go with friends then it will be better, but I always go alone. Maybe you can jio me if you going....
If that may be a concern, you may also want to try another shop located in Jusco Tebrau. It is called Mee Too Foto. It should be located at the 3rd level. This mall is more crowded and most people feel "safe" there. Alot of Singaporean go there to shop too.
The last one is Foto CLS located on the 2nd floor of Pelangi Leisure Mall.
For me other than these 3, I don't bother to look at other shops in JB due to pricing and service.
Either one you choose, remember to be polite and nice, and you can bargain a little more from the price they quote you. Malaysian are very nice if you are nice too.![]()
Thanks Pachero, very enlightening indeed?Wonder how do you normally bring items back to Singapore?Has the custom ever stopped you? That is I'm assuming you're Singaporean...
