You can convert to international warranty for Sony products bought in Hk at established outlets. Or can bring the product and go to Sony outlets in Hk to do the conversion .

yes it's possible but I think only for body and lenses other accessories not so sure. What you need to do is when you buy in HK you visit Sony HK CS and asked them for Tourist Warranty they will convert it to your country local warranty in your case Singapore.

Is it free or do you have to pay for it? And what documentations do you need to present?

I think this has been discussed here in Sony forum you could try to search but so far I have not read anyone that they were charged of any fees or taxes. Documentations is the proof of purchase and stamp from the outlet you bought it (I guess).

Personally I have not tried buying my DSLR or lens fomr HK yet only some accessories.

No fee or tax is required for converting warranty. Custom tax will be another story.

You just bring it to SonyStyle HK. Sony SG can most likely support it as the techs would already be undergoing training...

its not released yet, doubt there will be cheap sets or kit when its released in Singapore. expect to fork out 1.8k for NEX with kit lens
 

Have info that NEX 7 will be release on 25 Feb.
There seems to be a roadshow at Suntec on the 25 Feb for Sony and will be available by than or a few days before.

No, no and no. You should look into the priceguides section, we list recommended shops there. FYI, your ideas are funny. Sim Lim and Lucky Plaza especially are the biggest con-jobs around, it's where dumb tourists who never did any research go to lose money.
 

Singapore despite supposedly being a premier financial hub and technology savvy city, always gets electronic stuff later than other countries. still waiting for nex7 and galaxy nexus. this is just embarrassing.
 

Lucky Plaza should be your last resort, even if your life depended on it, you may want to give it a miss.

You will be overcharged, get incomplete kits, be charged a few hundred for a cheap filter, be told that your battery and charger are separate purchases, be sold a fake warranty and maybe even be charged $100 for a screen protector etc.
 

A very reliable one but most probably already known by many.

Bro... i thought that was for the launch of PS Vita and their games release?

Anyway i had got my Nex-7 in Macau (when no one actually knows they had launched) but i'm not sure if i'm been carrot head..... they selling me a whole package Nex-7 (body only), SEL 18-200), 8GB SD Class 4 card, additional original battery, manfrotto white 4-sections compact tripod, Sony Alpha camera bag (big enough for Nex-7 and 18-200 lens) and a Marumi 67mm UV filter for the 18-200...all for $3.2k. i pay extra 3% for credit card purchase else this whole package will cost abt $2.8-2.9k.
 

哇得发?Even Macau launched ahead of us ?. It such a obscure place to buy camera equipment !

ya loh... i also didn't expect them to have it since i asked around in hong kong and none of the shops have stocks.... apparently Macau got 3 sets... before me someone bought, i bought the 2nd set... still got 1 more left. That's when i left on last Friday.

Compared to the wait for A700 replacement, this one considered small case. Oh well, Singapore forever last one ma but to be fair, US and other regions is getting it recently also... :dunno:
 

good things come to those who wait
