[09.02.13] Dongwan’s blog: Tips on buying cameras.-

thanks for the tips Dongwan, will take your advise :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Check the prices on the Internet.
Get to know the market rates and note down the prices of the model that you want to buy.

- Don’t shop at places like *** Mart, **** Land.
At places like departmental stores, because they usually include commission incentives into the price, so prices won’t be cheap.
What’s even more annoying, prices are 5-10% higher if you pay with credit cards. -_-*


- Always buy legitimate products. If you buy cheap parallel imports, you won’t be able to receive A/S (after-service - the Korean term for warranty service)
Cameras are gadgets that require A/S frequently. Absolutely buy only legitimate products.

- At the moment cameras are still cheapest in Namdaemun. The quality is very good too, but when you head there to buy without knowing the prices well, be careful not to get ripped off!

- Product registration is a must.
What’s strange is that many stores don’t stress the necessity of product registration.
Sincec there are many advantages that come along with product registration, you have to do it!
You must submit a scan of your receipt, and register within 15 days of your purchase!

A store at Namdaemun that’s worth recommending is “Nikon Nara” www.nikonnara.com.

p.s. The store I recommended only sells Nikon cameras.
p.s.2. Use Nikon for landscape photography, and Canon for taking portrait photography
When you use Nikon in the wrong way to take photos of people, the photos will turn out with rubbery skin.
With Canon the photos will still look pretty even if you take them badly~ ㅋㅋㅋ
I’m a Nikon fanatic~
