Where did you buy your camera?

We used to have Adray Camera in michigan, which was amazing and had pretty much everything in stock. They couldn't keep up with the online market though, which tends to be the trend.

IT depends on the exchange rate.

The HKD is pegged to the USD so it's pretty much a constant rate (1 USD to 7.8 HKD)

You can see average HKD prices (if you buy in HK, not online) here:
