Tywais Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Photobug on Chang Peuk. BigCamera and some other shops at Central Festival. I see Photobug listed at Airport Plaza so don't know if they moved or have two shops. Believe some other camera shops at Airport Plaza. http://www.photobugonline.com/ https://www.facebook.com/PhotobugChiangmai Google Maps show Chang Peuk Street View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster11 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 http://www.denchai.com/ I bought a Panasonic camera from Ebay which offered more variety at cheaper prices than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeBoCM Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The official Nikon representative in Chiang Mai is Denchai, on Rattanakosin road, map here http://www.denchai.com/Contact_us_Eng.html There are also doing repairs for Nikon products. Of course you can find other Nikon sellers in a lot of different places, PhotoBug being a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jko Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Have a look at Lazada on line shopping to compare prices you might be quoted in CNX. As other members will probably attest, they are very reliable. I bought a Sony RX with them. It arrived here in 48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryBird Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I know that Nikon is a good brand, but can I ask why you are fixed on purchasing from this manufacturer? They are typically more expensive, and the detachable lenses are more expensive as well. (Assuming you are talking DSLR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beng Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I know that Nikon is a good brand, but can I ask why you are fixed on purchasing from this manufacturer? They are typically more expensive, and the detachable lenses are more expensive as well. (Assuming you are talking DSLR) I am not fixed to Nikon at all.. What I need is a compact camera that - is easy to hold and operate with one hand - is not the tiny size of a cigarette box with no grip - fits easily in the under seat box of my motorbike - comes with a decent sized adjustable screen - has 12 + MP - has a decent optical zoom - runs on batteries (no chargeable accu) - has a built in flash - and costs less than 10K Baht Nikon's Coolpix L 840 has all that. In fact, it comes very close to the Konica Minolta I'm currently using but, bought back in 2004, is a little outdated and has some mould/fungus inside the lense from some hefty monsoon seasons in the south.

Beng Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Bought the mentioned camera at Denchai. Parking right in front of the shop. Good opening times from 8:30 to 18:00 Very friendly and qualified sales person (Mr. Big) Same price as at Big Camera Free 8 GB card The guy even advised me that, should I need an additional SD card, I'm better off buying it at JIB in computer city mall as they have the cheapest prices for original Sandisc and Kingston micro sd cards. There are obviously many copied products around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke000 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I ve been reading peoples reviews of the Nikon coolpix range and its seems that many people have problems with this camera. The most common word in these reviews is "avoid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke000 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was looking at camera today . The Tesco shopping center near the super highway , in the whole complex, including the shops and stalls outside and the main Tesco had a total of ZERO cameras for sale . Although there were about seven outlets selling phones with cameras attached, but there wasnt even one camera for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKResort Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Look at Samsung 20 MP wiih 10x zoom 7 to 10 K in Big Camera. Small but powerful. If also you do need a new smart phone, the model K Zoom have the best camera with Internet connection on the market..about 11K in Big Camera. Nikons and Canon are good brands too. Anyway. Buy only from a reputed local store with good service. Not online. Edited November 30, 2015 by BKResort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Samsung are not such a good bet for cameras at the moment. They just announced that they are stopping camera sales in two countries and rumour has it that more are to follow. Check the latest news about their intentions online - you don't need to buy a camera with a decreasing prospect of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8891 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Try looking at the Canon SX700 HS.It seems to fit all your criteria and gives some good results, although it cannot shoot in RAW, unfortunately. I bought mine in SiamTV near Pratu Chiang Mai. Very pleased with it....and they give a free memory card and probably some other goodies too.
