Hi everyone,

I'm in Ho chi minh for 2 weeks but have just lost my camera and need to buy a new or used one for travelling to Mekong delta next week.
Any recommendations? I prefer Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, etc.
Thank you.

Oh no, so sorry to hear that you lost your camera in my city for just only 2 weeks passed.  :( You can try to find at Pham Hong Thai st. Dist. 1. That street is between Ben Thanh Market and New World hotel, facing 23th sept (23/9) park.

Or, if you have chance to go to Dist. 5, try to find Hong Bang street (along the street you can find many of them).

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for sharing.
I bought a used one at one store named LP in dist 5, near the Russian market.
Really helpful for my Mekong delta trip.
Cheers.

Hi there Roshan Bhandari and welcome to expat.com!


Being an avid user of GoPro for many years now, I can understand your wanting to replace your lost camera, a.s.a.p.

I'm on my 3rd GoPro Session 5 since arriving here. The first was lost, and the second died suffering water damage (salt water).


The second and third cameras I purchased from individuals, not from a shop.


You didn't mention where in VN you are located, so here is a link to the page of a very popular site covering all VN locations.


Here is Saigon,

and

here is Hanoi.


The site is dedicated to VN sellers/customers, so unless you can speak VN it might be helpful to find a local to make the contact and negotiations for you.


Good luck in your hunt, and please let us now how it all works out for you.

Not surprising, since you are not "here"... 😉

You'll find a ton of camera stores (new & used) on and nearby this section of

I have probably walked through this area 30 or 40 times going from the area of the Opera House to the Bến Thành Market.


it appears they have many used cameras and new ones as well.


I purchased a really nice tripod along that street.


Also, there are some nice little Fix-It shops there that handle some electronic repairs.


I had a Roku remote that didn't work after the batteries corroded inside it, and a woman there fixed it in 24 hours.


Good luck finding what you need!

Might be difficult to find a used Gopro 11. There are just a couple there.

Good luck, and please let us know how it turns out.
