No such place as MungCock in Hong Kong but there is a district called Mong Kok on Kowloon side. You can get there by the MTR. I find Fortress stores as good as any for cameras, electronics etc. and you won't get ripped off like in some tourist traps in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Both Fortress & Broadway (u can find both in Mong Kok) are ok. Most locals buy things there. However do go there during day time as the sales people have more time to serve you. After work hours you'll see the shops are flooded by people.

I recently brought a Canon D300 digital camera Plus all the accessories from Echo Photo & Camera Store. It is just up from the fortress in TST (the one opp the HMV store) the road it is on runs parrell to Nathan road (sorry but i completely forgot what it is called)
I saved myself over a grand (AUD) buying it in HK and have brought 3 cameras from Echo in the last few years and have found them to be fantastic. THey are not like the ripoff muchants with the fancy neon signs that are located up and down TST.
Email or PM us if u want any more info.

That is the one Hot Dog. I havent had a problem with Echo Photo & Audio. They also seem to have HEAPS of business cards from tech crew from all ova the place.
I have also heard good things about Bob Lai.
I managed to save myself a lot of money with the current exchange rate (was about 5.7 HKD per 1AUD)
Have a great trip

Golden computer center Sham Shui Po for computer bits...
Wanchai computers for laptops.
Far Yeung street Prince edward for cloths, not the centre market but the shops behind, all the aussie labels.
Avoid TST electronic stores like the plague.
Copy watches seem to be better quality up in MongKok
For AV equipment i like Centry AV. its in Mong Kok, go out exit E2 about 3 entrances on the left you will see a cue for the an elevator join the cue and go to 10th floor. infact the hole building in a AV paradise. If you get to the body shop you have walked too far.
