Established in 1959, Cathay Photo since its very beginning has been driven by the objectives of providing the best photographic equipment, pricing and service to our customers. These objectives have ensured our continued progress and growth from just two humble showcases occupying a quarter of a shop-front to our present four retail outlets, an administrative/distribution office and a warehouse.
It is this same vision that has seen us evolving with time, embracing the many exciting developments taking place in the photography industry. To keep in tune with relentless technological advancements, we made it our business to learn and understand photography in this new light – the digital era. So while we remain the best source of conventional photography equipment, our knowledgeable staff and up-to-the-minute comprehensive range of digital gear will ensure that our customers too are at the forefront of the industry.
Besides offering an impressive range of still- and video-cameras, here you will find professional studio equipment including top-quality electronic flash systems from Elinchrom, camera support systems from Manfrotto and SLIK, and virtually all other photography accessories from more than 60 international brands, some of which are widely acknowledged as the best in their field. From shoot to screen to final print – be it digital compact cameras and SLRs, highly revered marques like Mamiya and Leaf medium format camera systems, carrying solutions from Lowepro, graphic monitors and computer systems, color management solutions from Datacolor or professional photo printers – you will find what you need here at Cathay Photo.
Whether you are new to digital or a seasoned professional, we will continuously introduce you to the fascinating and powerful world of digital photography, discuss and share our insights on your digital imaging problems, and offer a complete color-managed workflow solution to meet your needs and enhance your efficiency.
In recent years, Cathay Photo has undergone some major transformations: a new updated corporate image, a fresh look for our retail stores as well as the opening of our new Apple Authorised Reseller store in Peninsula Plaza. But beyond these changes, there are some core principles that remain deeply entrenched in us:
Being able to serve the photography industry for more than 45 years is a huge milestone for us, one that spurs us to go even further and to remain poised for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Backed by our proud heritage, Cathay Photo is without doubt the preferred photographic retailer in Singapore today.
