Well... I always go TK foto (ok service, but some staffs are quite impatient and black faced), Cathay Photo (really good service there, but not really cheap), John 3:16 (absolutely loved the service in there, very brotherhood kind of thing, but prices also not very low). Sometime I go Orient Photo too... pretty arlight prices.
jadfreak said:i have tried in cathay at peninsula branch, one uncle there is very accommodating.. i only bought a lens cap and just inquired about speedlights and camera pouch.. the store was jam packed yet he never leave me to accommodate other guest.. artworkfoto near bugis is accommodating also.. though only a few people there since there shop is small.. nice talking with the gentlemen there.. you will not feel inferior even if you're a newbie..
I usually get an e-quote from cathay first then go down.
Main purpose and scope of shops is .. selling. Hence, they will do everything (including massive amounts of talks up to intentional disinformation) to make you buying for the highest possible price. Plenty of tactics to make you fork our more cash, starting from bold quoting, cheaper model being out of stock so they offer the more expensive one, 'promotions that require you to buy other (unnecessary) things and so on. Shops are not there for free education or consultation. Some do it to a certain extend, but for a newbie like you it's impossible to tell rubbish from good advice. So do your homework and search through the Consumer's Corner here. Plenty of stories about people being cheated in one way or the other. As long as you don't know what you need best not to enter any camera shop - unless you go with an experienced person you can trust.mr newbie here..
