[Closed] Buying a camera in Singapore - Worth it?

PeterPoddy · 2016-11-06T20:48:36Z

I want a new camera. Having got shot of my DSLR, I want something (a lot) smaller and I've settled on an Olympus OMD EM10 mk2. Mrs PP is off to her sister's in Singapore at the beginning of December and has offered to get one for me, so I've been doing some research. It seems there's some untrustworthy shops there, and some very good ones. That's fine, I can sort that out in advance, but there's other issues that make me wonder if it's worth bothering. The only reason to buy from there is price, and to make it worth while (e.g. warranty) it's got to be a significant saving, so i've been looking at prices. Or trying to. You'd think that the shops would be shouting their prices at full volume on their websites, but most of the websites I can find are crap with little in the way of prices. The only couple of things I've been able to compare have been available cheaper in the UK, e.g.: Polaroid Cube is about 240SGD - roughly 140GBP and you can get them for £100 or less here. And the camera I want... About £635as against £499 and an extra £75 cash back so £424 in the UK at Jessops.I'd have to get one for no more than £375 to make it worth it. Is that going to happen? Anybody any experience? Thanks in advance :)
