fellow malaysian here, but currently in states, so I'm not sure where you can get the best deals. I'll PM you with something else that might help.

This is my favorite store in Penang.

Excel Photo Trading in the city at Penang Road (on left side of road near Komtar)

426 Penang Road,
10000,
Penang

Tel No.: +604-226 2973
Fax No.: +604-228 0688
Email: excel_photo@yahoo.com (external link)

Also good is Clik N Snap

CnS
Tel: +604-2621 663
it's at Komtar ground floor level, on the Penang road side which quite near to Excel.

further down the road past Excel (about 200m on the same side) is

Hike Enterprises
No: 364/362, Penang Road
Tel: 604-2293710 / 604-228 3710

Most of more dedicated photographic stores are around the Penang road area and at the 1st level of Komtar also inside Prangin mall which is nearby on the other side of Komtar.

Good prices if you bargain with them or get them to throw in extra's like genuine batteries etc.,
Canon stock is sometimes an issue as less is brought in by Canon Malaysia.

Remember you need to factor in the warranty issue, with the DSLR bodies only warranted in the country of purchase, while lenses have an 1 yr international warranty.

Also get all the warranty cards filled out correctly with shop stamps etc. and don't forget the itemised invoice and credit card receipt for proof of purchase.


1Dx, 1DM4, 5DM2, 7D, EOS-M, 8-15L, 17-40L, 24 TSE II, 24-105L, 50L, 85L II, 100L, 135L, 200L f/2.8, 300L f/4, 70-200L II, 70-300L, 400Lf/5.6
