Just to add that my experience in Tin Cheung is TST was not positive. I found their sales staff to be rude and patronising. Maybe just a bad day at the office but I won't be going back.
Ok, that is more of a midrange point-and-shoot, I see HK$3,000 but high street stores are more at HK$3,400. Generally in HK you find the better prices for Nikon and Canon DSLRs with their lenses, and you may have to look at the more professional end than the more prosumer bottom end. Even micro 4/3ds are similar if not more expensive.
Next to DSLRs you have the bottom of the barrel items which you may be able to find specials on Amazon that fair better, especially with Prime. Generally I've seen HK do better, especially compared with Korea.

While they're almost all really knowledgeable (because we hire working pros as often as we can) the fact is several of our managers and some of our employees are orthodox Jews. We have a very diverse staff including orthodox Jews, non-orthodox Jews and non-Jews alike. We're as diverse as New York City itself.

av life sells this at HK$2800, official hk product, almost same as your price, please note like in the other geoexpat thread, also expensive list price places such as fortress and boardway may have the so called great cs that you expected.
there are like dixons and curry in uk
stanley street is not a camera oriented area, no wonder it's expensive, it's like buying electronics from oxford street instead of tottenham court rd, surely some homework and little trip to mong kok's sai yeung choi st or good independent camera store ( geoexpater have recommend many) or av life would of been less hassle than ordering from the states.
it's like most of the ' HK is expensive rants' which appears on this site often,
however, I do believe based on commenst that B & H store is very good place if you happen to be in the states
