I have a friend going to China. Does anyone know if Canon or Nikon digital cameras are cheaper there? How muc

Would you really trust buying something so important as a Canon or Nikon digital camera from China? China has been in the news so much these days because of fraud and counterfeiting that I wouldn't trust buying anyting there right now.

If you know who you are buying by all means by it there! My sister-in-law works for a company that does business with China and gets so many electronics stuff at awesome prices! 4GB Flash Drive for $20! They are definitely cheaper than the U.S.

I don't know what the price difference is but with the right connections you will save tons.

they are cheaper
but the warranty is only 3 months
instead of one year

I wont recommond it. No US warrenty, could be a counterfit, and you will have to pay for import taxes anyway when you leave China. Not the best things in the world so no.

I've been to China every year of my life and if you want to buy electronics there from a trusted dealer, the price is usually $20-$50 more than it is in the U.S.
I've seen a Canon Rebel XT there for about $600 U.S. dollars.

I didn't find them cheaper.
I did find a really cheap camera online here though

Try online. I bought my Canon Rebel XTI from tiger direct for $750- thats with a lens kit! Everyone else has them advertised for $850!!!! But I did get this in Feb so watch for deals.
