Hidalgo-Quiapo, A Camera Haven

Places

Nikon D90

If you’re planning of getting a brand new camera, whether it’s a DSLR or a point and shoot, then forget the malls. There’s a camera haven hidden among the sellers of fish and amulets inside Quiapo’s busy public market.  The Hidalgo street.

Hidalgo street is located near the Quiapo church and herein lies a stretch of Philippine’s best camera shops.  Hidalgo’s camera prices usually differs a few thousand lower than those being sold in the malls. Aside from that, most shops sell different kinds of cameras, camera accessories, lenses etc., which you can’t normally find in the shops inside the malls.

I bought my Nikon D90 from Hidalgo and I was able to get a good bargain from Henry’s.  I used the money I saved to buy an extra lens on top of the camera I bought.

To get to Hidalgo, you can take the LRT and hop off in Carriedo Station. From the Carriedo Station, enter fron entrance of  the SM building, which is just behind the station, and proceed to the Watson’s exit. The street behind SM is the Hidalgo Street.

For the list of Hidalgo Camera Shops, click here.

Here’s a clip of the map to Hidalgo:

    @Patrick
    it depends, but i see more nikon users.

    @Jalor

    Henrys. just look at the place haha! it should look credible.

    @apple ortiz

    just send me an email reh_kow@yahoo.com

    @bryan

    500D, but it depends if you’re into the tilt-and-swivel LCD which is only at 230k dots as compared to 920k of 500D.

    @joyce

    i think 42k kit 38k body maybe a little bit cheaper.
