I’m thinking of buying a digital SLR camera. However I understand that the price ranges from $1,500 to almost $3,000. Are they any shops that sell a cheaper but good quality digital SLR camera?

We are unable to recommend any particular retailer.

However, you may refer to the following websites for information and price guides:

- Cnet Asia: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/digitalcameras/
- Hardware Zone: http://sg.hardwarezone.com/priceguide/
- VR Zone: http://sg.vr-zone.com/
- Asia One Digital: http://digital.asiaone.com.sg/idx_reviews.html

Usually, the advice given by these sites would be to consider what your usage of the equipment is
likely to be and then to search for models which can satisfy your needs. Some of these websites
also have forums where you may consult the opinions of other forum members who may be
able to share their experiences.
