Also, does anyone know where I can rent a DSLR? Or anyone currently in HK that wouldn't mind lending me theirs?
P.S. Any cultural shit in HK like temples that I should see? I don't need to do any shopping, just eating and sightseeing.

You can pick one up at a 7-11 but if you need customer service to help, you might want to drop into an actual carrier store instead. They are everywhere. I recommend Three as a good prepaid sim with data.
For temples, check out the Chi Lin nunnery i listed above. Another big one in Kowloon is Wong Tai Sin. If the weather was better you might actually walk there if you wanted to check out a regular old urban residential area. not that interesting sight wise, but i like to see everything when i travel, even the mundane.
anyway You can also check out Che Kung temple in sha tin. IIRC it's the one with pinwheels everywhere, so that's neat to see. It has a huge outdoor area for burning joss sticks, so they burn HUGE ones. My wife's grandparents are at Man Mo temple in sheung wan so we go there a lot, and i see tons of tourists whenever I go. I don't think it's particularly interesting for tourism though.

It's customary but not necessary to donate when you visit a temple
