There are many places where you can get good deals for camera in Singapore. I will recommend the following 4 places that used to find my gems.
- Sim Lim Square is one of them. You may want to go level 3 and above to try your luck.
- Funan DigitaLife Mall is another place. Try going to the Challenger superstore on level 6.
- PaRiSiLk, behind Holland Shopping Centre, in here you can expect unbeatable price and the service are good too. Every quarterly in March, June, September and December, there will be a mega PC and IT shows in Singapore. Usually the price in the show is very attractive and furthermore retails are throwing lots of freebies to sweeten the deal. Look out for it.
What to look out for
Take note the following points:
- Where is the camera made in? Is it China, Taiwan or Japan. You can expect different prices for camera made in China compare to a camera made in Japan.
- Make sure what is the warranty. Is it an international warranty? Since you are buying in a foreign country, this is very important. You do not want to send the camera back to Singapore for repair right?
- Look out for any freebies? Usually when buying a camera in Singapore, it will come with a memory card. Try to negotiate for an additional battery or a card reader from the retailer. If the cost is not high, they usually will agree.
When is the best time to buy
Come to Singapore during Great Singapore Sales (May - July). During this period, retailers are giving great discounts. You definitely can find a good deal for yourself. Another good time is during Christmas. Retailers are giving offers during this period to attract your money.
Hope with this knowledge, you can enjoy your hunting experience for a camera in Singapore.
