I am thinking of buying a NIKON D50 or NIKON D70 (or the new NIKON D80). Any suggestions to where to buy a NIKON digital camera in Hong Kong? Also, if you are familiar with these products, please let me know of your recommendation.
Many thanks!

one of the camera shops on stanley street, central was selling a D70 (newer version) for about $7500 last year.
can't help you on the rest though

If there is one place to avoid for photography gear overall, its the glitzy shops - mainly in TST and some in Times Square.
Wing Shing and Man Shing are very reputed shops and they are in Mongkok. Stanley street shops are fine too - except that it makes sense to check the prices with the website address I have posted earlier.

It's actually pretty easy to work out the dodgy places in and around TST - if they don't list a price, they're dodgy!
I've used Tin Cheung for a Canon lens, and a couple of colleagues haved used it as well (for serious purchases - US8000!!). heading back there next week to pick my brother up a body.
However, if you're remotely uncomfortable, use somewhere on the island. Also keep in mind support - it's often easier to deal with someone close by.

Dont go to tst... go to stanley street just off of Lan Kwai fong... all the "pros" use the first shop on the south side... can't remember it's name. I bought my Nikon D70 there and have no complaints. They have good advice and prices too on some simple filters (UV) to cover your lense.
