Where can I buy a camera with good reputation and moderate price in Hong Kong?

Tsim Sha Tsui can be said to be a paradise for photographers, because there are not only a large number of concentrated camera shops, but also a wide range of them, and the prices are the most affordable. Of course, this benefit refers to the price of parallel imports. Let's talk about the distribution of each store first. Want to buy a new parallel machine, there are two stores worth visiting, Tian Xiang Photographic Equipment Company and Salon Audio & Video. Tianxiang, located on the ground floor of Dongying Building, Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, is a must-see place for many mainland and even foreign photographers to come to Hong Kong. Because of its complete variety and large scale, it can cater to the different needs of experts from all walks of life. Almost all well-known brands of cameras can be found here, with new and second-hand goods gathered together, and even small accessories such as camera bags have a variety of choices. Tianxiang's boss claims that his specialties are European brands, such as Kangtaishi, Lulai and so on. The price is not too cheap after many comparisons, but its victory lies in the goods, reputation and quality are guaranteed. The location of "Salon Video" is hard to find. In Yichang Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, although it is only a few minutes away from the Tsim Sha Tsui subway exit, take the coastal defense road at the exit of Kowloon Park and turn into Hankou Road at the second crossing. There is a small street dozens of meters in the middle. The storefront of "Salon Audio-visual" is also very inconspicuous. The window facing the street is not filled with equipment like other stores, but some posters of cameras are posted. There are only packaging cartons on the shelves in the store, which contain all kinds of camera lenses. The variety of this shop is not complete, most of them are Japanese brands. It's best to think about the model to be bought in advance, ask if it is in stock, and then ask the price of parallel imports directly. General quotations will be cheaper than other stores, which is their advantage. Since they mainly do wholesale, you won't be too keen on buying only one or two things. Buying a camera is not as simple as buying clothes and cosmetics. If you have determined the purchase target, I suggest you call the stores to inquire about the current price before going, and make a comparison with the price of your photographic equipment before making a decision, because at present, the parallel prices of some photo studios in Guangzhou are very close to the level of Hong Kong, and the bargaining rate of new parallel imports in Hong Kong is very small, about 5%. If you are interested in second-hand photographic equipment, you must go to the Champagne Building Mall at kimberley road 16. It can be said to be a second-hand photography concentration camp, such as Friends, Loyalty and Hello. The most famous is the "Chen Baking Camera", which is quite famous in mainland photography. Mr. Chen Baking's business card is printed with the words "buying and selling cameras and all photographic equipment from famous factories in various countries". As long as you walk into his three small shops, you will have a deep understanding. Countless camera lenses and so on occupy almost all the space where you can put things. The biggest one mainly sells 135 cameras, two small ones mainly sell 120 cameras and a larger professional landline. Hasselblad alone is dense. The price of aged baking will be relatively high, but don't forget to pay for it. You don't have to worry about the quality when you buy cameras in these old second-hand shops, because you have been an expert for many years and have excellent integrity. As for bargaining, it depends on personal ability. Generally, you can cut about 65,438+05% of the treasure in Champagne House, and there will always be surprises.

Finally, it must be reminded that there are many shops in Tsim Sha Tsui, with all kinds of brand-name cameras and neon lights flashing "tax-free" at the door. Please enter carefully. These stores usually don't have their own store names, and they are all engaged in tourism business. Some deceived friends and local friends in Hong Kong have repeatedly warned us not to enter these stores, because although the people in the stores are very enthusiastic, some tricks have to be prevented: for example, if you want to buy that machine, he will say that it is out of stock, and then recommend the so-called updated model to you, which is actually other models with higher prices; It is clearly parallel imports, and he will use various means to claim that it is licensed; It is clearly displayed in Chinese, but he said that it only shows Japanese or English, and then he said that it can help you convert it into Chinese, but it will cost 300 yuan more ... In short, you must shop around before purchasing the machine, so as to wake up the spirit. I refer to /post.php here? Action = Edit & FID = 35. tid= 149 1。 pid=3960。 page= 1。 Extra =
