I went in to CNS 2 or 3 times, every time they will just simply layan.. Give me the price, then walked away.. I was like shakehead.gif

Since then I never bother to go there anymore.. Perhaps they offer better service for regular or old customer, I don't know..

Now I go to Hike, won't even bother to ask the price at other places too, it might differ a bit, but I like their service, and don't mind paying a lil more if it's a bit expensive. biggrin.gif Just got my 5DII set and 16-35L II there. Happy buying.

I felt the same way too. I wanted to get a D90 kit set from them since many forumers recommended c&s but seems like they are much more friendlier to the regular ones  sad.gif

Mind if I ask where is Hike? Is it the same row as c&s? Maybe I'll visit there and get it from them. Btw, I'm new to the world of dslr.

Hike is the same row as megastar and excel. Hike is almost at the end of the road, near the pedestrian bridge. smile.gif

does anyone know the availability of D90 among all those shops in Penang?

Planning to get 1.

Call the shops and check, easiest way. Many D90 selling out lately. smile.gif

I personally like Hike, though like some said the price of certain thing might be slightly higher than CnS. I went in to CnS a couple of times and the staff was not friendly at all and don't feel like serving me. I'd rather pay a lil' more at hike for their better service biggrin.gif

just a notice, i recently bought a d3100 with kit lens at Fotocam in perangin mall. they offered me rm1850 with 4gb, bag and a tripod, which eventually i bought, after surveying around komtar/penang road.

all was good, until they keep insisting me to buy their filter, which in the i bought it too. so imagine this, i got back, and went online to check the price of the so called better quality japan made filter, it was only rm50, but they sold me at rm140. well, can't blame them, i didnt know the exact price of the filter.

in the end, i think it was a win win situation, i got a reasonable bargain, and the shop got to knock me rm90.

so beware while buying at fotocam.

p/s: where reasonable place to get lens around penang road?? getting a 50mm f/1.8d tmr.

Some gives you very nice price on the whole set but will knock you with overpriced accessories. Make sure you do some survey online 1st next time smile.gif

Those shops in Penang road offers reasonable price, for best price you might need to survey yourself (or someone here knows where to get the cheapest one).

Cheers!

I've heard very good comments about cns too and it was the first shop I visited first among the shops at penang road. There's not much customer at that time when I visited. Maybe my look makes them think I am not a serious buyer biggrin.gif
