Where can I buy cheap or genuine digital cameras in Beijing?

There are many profiteers in Zhongguancun. Although the place is big and everything is really cheap, if you are alone and not very expert, you'd better be careful. Wukesong Equipment City is better and more professional. Zhongguancun can take the subway from Beijing Railway Station to Jishuitan and transfer to 47. Wukesong can take the subway 1 line directly and get off at Wukesong, and go north along the Fourth Ring Road. There is also a photo trade Jin Guangjiao, which has been an old shop for many years. Things are not cheap, but the service is good and the quality is guaranteed. You can take the subway Xidan or Tiananmen Square in front of Beijing Concert Hall on West Chang 'an Avenue.

Around 2000, you can look at Canon's A720 or better A650, with good functions and cost performance. If you like to be light, you can look at Canon IXUS860, IXUS80 or Sony T70.

Touch screen doesn't mean anything. It's purely a personal preference. Buy it if you like it or not.
