I bought my camera in KL, computer gadgets in Singapore, and a laptop in Bangkok during holidays. None of the prices beat the US but it was in front of me and convenient. With places like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart in the US buying in huge bulk for 300 million Americans it's hard to beat them on price. But when I figured in shipping cost the savings weren't always that great. Also, I must say if you are in Seoul, South Korea go to the Yongsan Area. The electronic mall at Yongsan Station has the most cameras on one floor than I've ever seen and prices are pretty good. Though Japanese brands are bit pricier. Go to the old section, better deals. http://www.lifeinkorea.com/travel2/seoul/16/

I can say laptop prices in Doha are cheaper than what I saw as a whole in SE Asia.But, I did hear but have not been to an Electronics mall or area on the outskirts of KL that is supposed to have some really great deals. This might be clarified by a Malaysian or Expat familiar with KL. OK best of luck
