Heritage camera retailer with deep ranges across cameras, lenses, lighting and studio gear.
“Best overall range and reliability.” - our editors
Cathay Photo earns the top spot because it remains the most complete stop for serious camera buyers in Singapore. The Peninsula Plaza store is especially useful when you need to compare bodies, lenses, bags, filters and support gear without hopping between several shops. Staff knowledge is generally strongest for practical kit-building and brand comparisons. The trade-off is that it may not always be the absolute cheapest for bargain hunters, but the product depth, location and after-sales clarity make it a dependable first call.
