Where can I buy quality digital camera/ipod

Need to buy for Christmas- I want to buy good quality so if have problems it can be fixed. Is there anything as good as an ipod???

Find what you are after in our Beijing A-Z Directory

Skitrees, do you mean a digital camera that is the equivalent quality of an ipod - they're totally different things. (?)
When I bought my digital camera, I did a fair bit of research beforehand because I was overwhelmed with the range available.....where do you start! I bought a Which Camera type magazine and ploughed through that - really boring however. I plumped for a Canon Ixus III and managed to get it duty free on a trip for a good price. A 12 month warranty came with it but there have been no problems at all. If you buy good quality, you won't need it to be fixed IMO.

Hong Kong is better than PRC for purchasing digital cameras, but if you know what model you want, then you can get it here if you don't happen to be travelling through HK before Xmas. My advice....read up thoroughly first....then head to Gome or Da Zhong or somewhere on WangFuJing and barter the price down between the shops.

Go to Zhong Guan Chun.

Its quite far out, but there's lotsa choices and bargains to pick from.

The buildings around Hai Long Da Sha would be a good starting point. Hai Long has more computer stuff, but the buildings around it has lotsa electronics.

Good luck!

Hi,

For quality digital camera at reasonable price, you must go on www.topestore.com.

Research the camera you want online, find out the best possible price in the USA...

Then go to Zhong Guan Chun (as suggested above) and you can probably get it for that price if you bargain really hard.

I did this and was very pleased with the results.

The first 10 stalls just said no, then one guy said okay!

Of course, I then got an extra battery, screen protectors, etc... all at a very good price.
