well today i went to all the 3 places (sungei wang, times square n low yatt) to ask for the prices for D50 n D70s. the price i asked was the standard package which has nothing but the camera n the lens only (no memory cards, bag, filters bla bla bla)
n the price i asked havent been bargained yet. means that i just went in, get the price, say thank you n run back out
among the shops i asked are Bintang Maju Commercial, Nepmatic, myKamera.com, Foto Shangrila, Foto Flash, Fotokem, Enata, FS, Boeing n Tarita
bascially i can say only
Bintang Maju Commercial in times square offer the "body only" package which only got the body with no lens but the price is kinda expensive. u can just forget about it
i'll only post the cheapest n most expensive price i found since i feel that listing out all the prices of the shops is troublesome n it might affect the shop reputation a little. i'll oso list the shops which gave the best service n the worst service
cheapest for D50 - Foto Shangrila in sungei wang lower ground floor - RM 2400 (body+lens only)
cheapest for D70s - Tarita (G119) in sungei wang ground floor - RM 3450 (body+lens only)
most expensive for D50 n D70s belongs to the same shop which is Fotokem in low yatt which is RM2800 for the D50 n RM3800 for the D70s. but their service is not bad anyway
price range for D50 - RM 2400-RM2800
price range for D70s - RM 3450-RM3800
among all the shop i went, Foto Shangrila gave me the best service since they just welcome me into their shop with open arms (without even judging thru my physical appearance...u'll understand later) even when i say i just wanna ask for the camera price. they r quite busy at that time oso. n they r oso the 1 offering the best price for D50. good job!
the shop which gave the worst service...Enata in low yatt (sorry to say
). when i went in, not even a single salesman say a "hi" to me or "how may i help u". all just ignore me n nod their head down. maybe its due to my clothing (i wear short pants, lousy pasar malam t-shirt n a pair of sandals). then when i ask for the price, their voice like wanna die like that (wan to tell dun wan to tell). i can barely hear what they say. in fact there is no customer at that time oso. sigh...looks does matters
so after today's scouting, i really need to rethink which 1 i wanna buy
D50 price is tempting but D70s oso not bad due to the extra features n a better lens at only 1000 dollars more expensive, sigh...but most prob i'll get the D70s but better count my money first. my wallet will anytime be admitted to the hospital due to excessive "blood leakage"
