A Photographer's Guide to Camera Shopping in Taipei 📸 

Thx for putting up this amazing video! 💕🌹

Thank you! Going to visit soon. a lot of people online were saying there is not much second hand stuff in camera street anymore, glad to know there actually is!

Thanks for another great gear travelogue.

Wow! I love visiting used camera shops.I am so proud of you and hope you are well.

Hope you enjoyed the trip! And thanks for the nice video! There are more shops to be featured.! Let us know when you visit next time!

This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this fabulous day with us.. we MUST visit Taipei !

One Taipei shop that always stood out to me that you were unable to visit is Shueido Camera. I'm not sure about their current inventory or sourcing, but when I lived in Taipei they sold used cameras in mint condition, often sourced from Japan. And at reasonable prices. They also sell new gear, and I still recall that's where I bought my most-used lens to this day, my prized and trusty Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VRII. One thing that may impact the brick and mortar shop these days is that they do a lot of international sales via their eBay shop, which features some really lovely used gear.

A very nice selection of shops; all different shopping experiences, but the same level of temptation. Enjoy the traveling and the mild humidity. 😎

I can't wait to go with you next time 😃😃😃 Fotone looks like my kind of store!

Thank you!!! this was indeed a lovely tour!! I have someone to visit there also!!

Wow! I wish we had something like this here in the states. A district with such stores, would be cool to hangout and window shop too haha

Thank you! Saving this for next time I'm in Taipei. Last time I was there I couldn't find much since there's not a lot of English guides. Another shop worth checking out is the Wotancraft flagship store - no cameras but lots of bags, straps, etc in a cool space and friendly staff.

Wow! What an awesome trip, you definitely needed a couple of weeks Charlice! So what did you purchase? Haha! 🙏🌹

I spent many many wonderful hours and trips at Taipei Camera Street 台北相機街. They're businesses out to make a profit, but I always felt well treated there, although I usually knew what I wanted before going there and didn't seek advice. Fun fact: many of the stores are owned by the same family. I found out by going to one shop, where I would ask for something in particular, and they'd tell me to wait a minute. Sometimes they'd make a phone call, and others they'd just go outside and down the street. Because what they were doing was grabbing inventory from a store with a different name and perhaps vibe, but owned by the same family.

I'm in Taipei right now. My family lives here. I didn't bring anything except one of my little Olympus waterproof cameras here because it rains a lot, and it's more fun to take pictures in the rain when your camera is waterproof 🤣

Cool trip and stores.

Hope to meet up with you someday at Leica’s
