Nothing to do, reading the papers happen to see this. Is it worth going for a leisure kia-lai-kia-kee walk? Nothing to buy really but normally this type of event have interesting things to see?

For years Sitex in Sillypore always got the same retailers (rather than exhibitors) booth to clear their old stocks.
Price is not really a discount in my opinion, they just bundle in with free gifts to entice consumers.

If you are looking out for babes, you won't get to see much either.

can go and look look. if tens of dollars matter to you, items like the laptops and monitors are at least $30-$50 cheaper than usual with some freebies thrown in. can get the TVs at a good price.

i AGREE, not to waste time.

It is better to use your time to do business and think of something more meaningful to do. Going to these shows does not make you rich. It is just like saving you a few dollars do not make you rich.

Harvey Norman is one of the biggest retailers there claiming to clear their old stocks at discounted price.
Pricing based on their ads today for camera is almost the same as before giving any discounts all these while.

No babes, but got babies in strollers brought by idiotic parents who cant think of the consequences if pandemonium occurs.

If you want to squeeze with peasants and smell their sweat and cheap perfume, go ahead. :biggrin:

For some people, that already more than makes up for the cost incurred for transport. :wink:

They should ban the banks from selling credit cards at IT show. Bastard promoters very in your face and some even try to block your way to pass u brochures.

There has to be a more dignified way of making a living.

You got yourself a new Fuji X-T1?
Previously you are using Sony A7 right?

Go SITEX should not just be about saving money. It's going there to enjoy the atmosphere as well. Furthermore, the whole area is full of gadgets all in one hall. Much better than going Sim Lim Squander anyway.

Was having fun with the Sony QX100 for a year, think a month ago saw their QX1 with interchangeable lens itchy backside went to get it with a fixed 20mm F2.8 and a zoom 18-200mm F3.5-6.5 E-mount lenses. Have lots of fun with it too. Much faster than the QX100 I must say in processing the picture and transfer to iPhone.

Friend looking for the Fuji X-T1 at Funan so went along lor. Was very tempted because so impressive and small but must resist cannot have another bloody set of Fujinon lens right? Already stuffed with Canon lenses and now Sony so good excuse not to get the X-T1. But then the X100T was at the side and picked it up, holy crap this cam with fixed f=23mm 32mm equivalent f/2 lens and hybrid viewfinder was so impressive, took many lego photos and really having fun with the hybrid viewfinder first time I've seen this where you can switch between optical and electronic. The temptation was too great so have to get it. Will be busy and having lots of fun with it next few weeks.

Tech exhibitions in Sinkieland are nothing more than events to get rid of products that are collecting dust in the inventory.

I'm also quite tempted with Fuji.
How much your friend got for his Fuji X-T1 and also your X100T?
