Behind CnS and the firefly office got one Foto Easycam. CnS and them are close to each other.The Foto Easycam people are higher position and they can offer lower prices. I always go there and get my stuff. She even told me she only made RM10 profit from me!

Watch out for dodgy salesman at fotocam, ICT @ Komtar named william.  Tried to convience me that a cheap tamron lens were better than canon lens and was trying to charge 3550 rm for a 600d with 18-200 tamron lens.  I'm shopping for a D7000, quotes i'm getting so far are around 3600rm, for a 18-105 nikon lens.

both fotocam ( ict/pragin) is the shop u should avoid... the worst is at ict... most of the sales men is stupid..lack of knowledge.......... but they will show you that they are good at it. for me the most important thing to avoid is buying filters ... any filters from this shop. one more shop to be avoid is Lam loong gurney plaza........ not friendly... and quit stupid also.. keep on saying to me that sony 50mm f1.4 is a G LENS which is not and want to charge me rm1550.00. RRP at sony website is rm1299.00. how the hell they can sell it more than sony center price? just make some research before buying.....will help u a lot.

Hello all.. basically the shops that i should go walk around are :

1) Hike
2) Photo EasyCam
3) CnS
4) Mega Star
5) Elite

this 5 shops shud be sufficient for cheap price and service if i am not wrong right..?

or any1 knows how much for 60D + 18-55 + 50mm f1.8 ? what are the freebies included..

and usually how much does it cost for a UV filter and a CPL filter ?

from reading on top.. it should cost around  < RM60 ?

my advice... buy uv n cpl from website...don't buy direct from shop unless you bring otai with u.... filters will make this shop kaya raya........ they will try poison u like hell to buy expensive filters but when go back n check the models
for internet..you will be surprised..... so much diff........... and some more 70-80% are FAKE cpl filters


n

those shop above are among the best dslr shop in penang........just don't go in the evening....... crowded.. PR will be less.......
