My brother is currently in Hong Kong and looking at getting a Canon 30D. Does anyone know the cheapest place to get it from over there?

thanks

I have just arrived home from Europe via Hong Kong.
Stanley St has only about 4 shops of varying quality, but 1 closeby called Hing Lee is very good, and is also mentioned in the Lonely Planet Guide as being genuine and honest. (I spent about $4,000 here). In Kowloon, you will find Nathan Road, near Mong Kok station, also has planty of camera shops.
But don't forget to have a look at Poon's prices through this group. We really only purchased in Hong Kong on the spur of the moment and could have waited to purchase from Poon, although I will purchase from Poon a lens that my wife bought and has found to be excellent (Nikon 18-200mm VR)

Sorry Adam - but it doesn't work that way.

The prices for any of the gear that can be arranged through this forum is only available to those who have been here for a while and made a reasonable contribution to the forum.

If you read the site's FAQs, it should all become clear to you.

I hope we see more of you around the forum.
