Bakit sobrang mahal ng Canon products dito?

**mbt** · July 17th, 2005 05:16 PM

i think i've made up my mind to go with Canon with its 350D over Nikon's D70/D70s hehe... lighter and significantly more compact (a big plus for me), light high-quality lenses are available and are cheaper (parang puro six digits yung presyo ng nikon lenses hehehe... ang bibigat pa), the lens selection is wider, it looks like it has less noise at high ISO (which is a big reason to go dSLR in the first place), and people say that local canon aftersales is better than nikon.

although.... D70 is more comfortable to hold, is cheaper, and i have a 60 mm/2.8 Micro Nikkor i'd be able to use, and mukhang mas reliable with less reports of failures (although it could also be because Canon sells so much more cameras than nikon)... hmmm......... still, i think i'll go with canon hehe

saan ba okay bumili sa HK, o kaya dito? maraming manloloko sa HK e hehehe... pati rin dito :D

May sense bang bumili ng Canon PowerShot Pro na 8-Megapixels? Yung pambili ko ng Fortuner wawaldasin ko na at balak kong bumili nitong PowerShot Pro. Sabi nila overkill daw yung 8-Megapixels? Nag-mura na pala ngayon? Yung huling tingin ko eh P70k+ ang price. Ngayon eh P50k+ na lang???

Speaking of which...

Pre, san ba service center ng Canon dito? San yang pinag-pagawan mo? Wala akong makita sa directory e. I have a multifunction printer na gusto kong ipa-repair, sayang naman. TIA.

Better buy it here in HK. Alam ko may international warranty mga yan. Kung yung price nakuha mo sa site mismo ng Canon, sigurado ko mas mura mo makukuha yan dyan sa mga shops sa Mong Kok.

hmmmm.... my uncle bought a toshiba tecra laptop for 90 k sa Hongkong.... dito, it's sold for around 160 k daw....

kahit dagdag mo pamasahe at hotel papuntang HK, may sukli ka pang pambili ng camera.hehe. seryoso. It's also extremely easy to get from place to place cause of the subways.

Dun ka sa Golden computer palace.

EL Chicane,

mas maganda yung Olympus C-8080WZ kesa Canon Pro1 hehe. hindi lang naman 8 MP binibili mo diyan, yung lenses ng Pro1 at 8080 professional quality na, plus, maraming ibang "pro" features hehe (full manual controls, larger max apertures, etc.). so yes, may use naman itong niche na ito hehe.
