online stores

[weedurpart2]

anyone know of a decent online store for camera/studio equipment with good/fair prices?

please don't say 'just go to Quiapo' because i've no plans of going there again for a while. traffic, lack of parking, heat, dirt and pickpockets (boyfriend got his phone stolen) are not worth the money we're "saving".

kimstore & dbgadgets are just multiply stores, arent they? multiplys down already.

also, dbgadgets almost screwed me over one time.

yup before sa multiply sila, pero meron din silang fb page. i bought my d90 before kay dbgadgets and it went well naman. here's kimstore: https://www.facebook.com/kimstorePH?fref=ts

are you particular with bnew or second camera gears?

[weedurpart2]

cool, thanks.


i don't mind second hand items, really. if you know any decent secondhand online sellers, that would be great.

Nope, they both have FB accounts as well.

Never had a problem with both. But between the 2, I favor kimstore more.

You can also try Photo Market Philippines or Henry's, they have a Facebook pages as well.

I also recommend these:

medyo weird, ang laki ng problema nila sa serial number. buying from kimstore, you should know that you are buying grey units so why would you need a serial number when the unit wont be accepted by service centers anyway?

its not like somebody can just create copies of the d600. besides the buyer should do his homework before buying. a short google search for "d600 issues" would have showed that the dirt on his sensor is a known fact. i've been holding off my d600 purchase for 4 months now and still waiting for the issue to be resolved.

btw, im not trying to defend kimstore - i just find the reactions on the dpp thread surprising. and for full disclosure, i buy one new point and shoot cam every year and all of them from kimstore (pana lx5, canon s95, fuji x100, sony rx100). its cheaper so im not expecting any after sales support from them after money has been exchanged
