Opened on Sundays as well. Usually 10 to 19 (or 20) oclock. Otherwise, you can try an official company, such as http://www.onlinetrade.ru -- they have the lowest prices for this kind of stuff (bought my Panasonic cam from there). By the way, the prices in Russia for these stuff are lower than in Europe (and maybe even than in America). I guess it has something to do with smart import schemes

I can do the same with prices here in Barcelona and with this information we can discuss about it properly. I can advance you this information: in http://onlinetrade.ru/static/shop/index.html the videocamera sony DCR-HC20E costs about 495€ and in the spanish site http://www.camarasdigitales.com/ the same videocamera costs 759€ So there is a significant difference. I'm thinking about buying a videocamera in spb. By the way, where are you originally from? Your nickname sounds like from a spanish speaking country. Best wishes, Francesc
