import of electrical appliances to malaysia is subjected to very high tax....
IIRC is 37%
but this rule exclude computer hardware and software.... which mean Laptop overthere is lower cost!:bsmilie:

which also mean if you bring your old HP there to sell will able to get hight price too!

Well we're talking about photographic equipment, not electrical appliances. Photo gear is exempt from customs duty in Malaysia, so what you've written does not apply.
Malaysia also has no GST, so in theory prices over there should be cheaper than in SG. But that's definitely not the case... so you know who is profiteering more... :devil:

I am not sure about the other places but the few camera shops I went to in Kuala Lumpur seems to have higher prices. With their lower rent, I can only conclude their profit margin is much more attractive.

Sorry to OT a bit, but I was thinking of getting the k-x dual kit, and then selling off the 50-200mm lens. Any bro know if there a demand for such lens?

Maybe?I think there is more demand for the 55-300mm

Alright, I'll consider getting the kit with the telephoto lens then. Thanks!

Why in the first place want to buy a dual kit and then sell off the tele lens? Makes no sense. Might as well buy the Kit 1 single lens kit . .. :dunno:

Because buy dual kit then sell off the zoom lens can earn some money...

i think the market for DAL 50-200 or 55-300 is there, but i dun think u "earn" at all lor... at best, u may be able to sell it for 200? 300? its basically the difference in price between a single lens kit and a double lens kit... where got profit :dunno:

You will not "earn" much in a snese . . .

I was comparing Alan Photo and SLR Rev and I felt that Alan Photo got better service. The auntie very good.

I know you're eager to help but unless you have up to the minute and complete info, best to let people find out on their own as they check up with the shops directly.
After all the shops draw their stock from Emjay directly. This sort of thing better not kay kiang. After you sure kena sai if you give wrong info... :bsmilie:
