Hello Samu,

Here's a hypothetical question for you? What happens if you buy a camera at an airport duty free shop and when you get home (5,000-10,000 miles away) you find out there is something wrong with the camera and need to return it or exchange it. This is almost impossible when buying at an airport duty free shop.

I would strongly recommend buying from a dealer, either on the internet or face-to-face in a major store. At least you won't have difficulty bringing the camera back if there is something wrong.

The airport duty free shop may save you a few dollars which turns into a big headache.
