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

Thanks everyone! Can you negotiate at Funan? Is the staff knowledgeable on good SLRs?

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
