Try a search. I like Mustafa, others like Funan or Cathay Photo in the Peninsula.

After you decide on the model check Parisilk at Holland Village also for a price check. They have very decent deals and you can also negotiate it down quite a bit.

FUNAN:
John 3:16 (closed on sundays)
Alan Photo
PENINSULA (coming from city hall, building before reaching funan):
Cathay Photo (closed on sundays)
You can discuss at length with the sales people in these stores to help you decide which cameras and accessories to get. They also have built a reputation amongst SLR enthusiasts
