After comparing IT items pricing lists in Sim Lim and Low Yat, and photographic equipment between various sources in S'pore and forum postings here, I think buying them in Malaysia is cheaper.

HK is slightly cheaper ! don't go to Fortress ler

go to Mang Shing or Wing Shing in Kowloon's MongKok area

or Cameron Photo which is just behind Hyatt Regency in Tsim Sha Tsui

HK is slightly cheaper, but you'll have a warranty problem. Unless you travel very often to HK.

Last time i compare the price of D70s in Msia was RM3650 and in SG $1700. Unless you wan to buy grey product with no warranty, D80 kit only cost for SGD1500
