New Low Prices

By

R0011607 (Large)

The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only):

GX200 = $3,280
GRD2 = $3,380
LX3 = $3,180
G10 = $3,280


Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.

 

Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).

Check it out in the camera shop at the end of the corridor on the 1st floor of MK Computer centre. Grey market and dealer's items make a price difference of around $300 at most as I'm aware. $3,900 is way too expensive unless it is with the viewfinder.

Good luck.

BTW, a friend of mine just bought a G10 from Wing Shing for below HK$3800 with a free Canon leather case, 8G SD card (class? Dunno) and LCD protection sheet.

Hi, Anonymous. If you're a student and just into photography, wanting to learn it, you may like me use your school fee to buy a proper DSLR (a SLR in my case)rather than a compact to start with IMO :)
(The school fee part is just a plank. You shouldn't if you don't have the money)

Thank you so much for your sincere advise!Actually,i am not that much a shooting fan,i just want to rocord my life in a more fancy way,what's more ,a DSLR costs a lot .So finally i consider gx200 the perfect combination .I wont give up my dream of owning a gx200,but i won't just lazily ask for money from my parents.I can do it myself by studying hard to get scholarship.And at that time ,gx200 should be much cheaper.lol.Whatever,thank you really so much for not just support my blind passion.Thanks a lot for pointing me a better way!

Anonymous, my pleasure. Keep going. I like your positive attitude. A 2nd hand gx200 is an option if you're tight on budget.

Email me if you've further any question.

Final Verdicts: GF2 in Action

By
(The rest of the GF2 review posts can be found here ) It is widely believed that the GF2 is a paradoxical downward-upgrade version of the GF1. So, after all the discussions of its bells and whistles, how does it perform in reality? First things first. Which or what kind of cameras should we measure the GF2 against for that matter? We believe that potential buyers of the GF2, maybe except for serial fad chasers and the diehard loyalists, are attracted by its smallness in size with a larger sensor to achieve better image quality, especially at ISO 800 or above. However, given the less satisfactory handling with for example just one dial, the GF2 cannot assume the place of a primary camera. Put together, these assumptions suggest that the GF2 is more suited to be used as a backup camera for social and street shots. Let's grill the GF2 on this basis. In the Hand An obvious merit of the GF2 is size. It feels much less bulky in the hand than the GF1 or the NX100, and just lik...

Dressing Up

By
(Camera: Ricoh GX200) On the street, a group of Chinese tourists are waiting for probably pick-up. With oblivion to the surrounding, this man changes his vest for an unknown reason to the author taking the opportunity to do a snap shot of the scene of an indecent taste.  The increasingly common sights, or eyesores considered by some, of people squatting in front of shops or in the thoroughfares, together with more billboards written in simplified Chinese, seem to push this international city towards the Chinese characteristics of the Mainland cities. The other day when the author visited the the aquarium and panda's home in the Ocean Park, there were, among the swamps of tourists, conspicuous signs saying, "Keep Quiet" and "Don't Use Flash".  The management of the Park has obviously deployed a much bigger troop of attendants to carry the signs around. On one occasion, one of those attendants was so annoyed that she went up to a tourist and made a big long...
