Called up SLR Revolution. Out of stocks as well... Called Parissilk but no answer... Sigh. I still thought I could get the cam today and try to familiarize the controls during a BBQ session tmr night before I go India next month...
Any sifu here knows of any shop tt still has stock of A33 at a reasonable price?

Really selling that good? If you really must get it, the other option can be go straight to Sony Style.

have you called cathay? so sorry to hear you cant find any stock... buying from the Sony shop or Harvey and Best you may not be able to get a good price and freebies unless you ask them... same goes for Challenger..
Was walking around SLQ yesterday (Shopping for 500gb HDD :bsmilie ...practically all the recommended camera shops was out ...even the Sony centre there had empty A33/A55pedestal (as well as the DT 35f18 SAM) !
The only shops which had the SLTs are those I STRONGELY recommend you NOT to buy from !!!:nono:
Heard that next shipment coming in about a weeks time ! ...we should be seeing some SLT adverts from Sony Singapore soon ! ...wonder how it'll compares with Canon's 60d advert currently doing the rounds. :think:

I just got thru to Parissilk@ Holland V.
They still have 4 sets A33 w/ kit lens.
Was quoted on the phone for S$989 cash.
Unable to ask if they will give discount if i'm getting another lens...
he cut me off the phone before giving me a chance to ask another question...
the guy on the phone seemed rushed...
So sifus, the price seems ok at the Parissilk.
My questions are is their reputation ok?
Do they carry other a-mount lens?
lastly, any sifu here wanna go buy the camera with me this evening?
I might just get the camera with kit lens, and you could get a discounted lens (if they do purchase w purchase)

If you stick to the reputable shops and authorised dealers you should be ok. I would avoid at all costs any of the shops with unknown or not so good reputation. (You can scan forum for what these shops are)
Best if you can get a friend who knows cameras to assist you to check. If not you can watch youtube for the unboxing videos of the camera you want to observe what you get with the box. Make sure you are familiar with all the accessories so that you won't have to make another wasted trip if something is accidentally omitted.
Otherwise, do a simple check on all the camera functions to make sure that its okay and check that all parts like the LCD, swivel etc are all working well and smoothly. If anything doesn't look or feel ok, don't be afraid to ask and don't be rushed into completing the deal.
If you also want basic accessories for the camera, a screen protector is a good investment, and get a simple multicoated filter for your lens. I would recommend Kenko or Hoya Multicoated UV. Should cost you around 20-30 SGD for 1 and you can use it protect your lens. Get two if you are getting a dual lens kit. If you good at bargaining, maybe get them to throw it in hehe
<<O_O>> I'm so blur.. u buy liao lol. Anyways I'll leave this post here in case any other newbies need some basic advice : P
Enjoy your new camera!
Post some pics soon!

Thanks for the advice, i didn't know have to bargain for the UV filter. They did gave me a 8gb MSduo and a lowepro dslr bag. I'm happy enough dy.
Charging up the battery now to have a go at the camera tomorrow
I got myself a Hoya basic filter from SLR revolution yesterday for my kit lens.
The sales showed me three types of UV filters from Hoya, $20 - $100 range.
Is the expensive UV filter better or actually we just need a $20 filter?
Cos I'm thinking of getting the DT 35mm f1.8 lens, so am thinking if i need a good filter for the better lens.
Thanks
Regards,
Gary
