Hi all, does anybuddy have experience/knowledge pertinent to getting repairs done on cameras that are 'parallel imported', either privately or commercially?
Recently I have sussed that a camera I am interested in (Minolta Dimage A1) which retails around NZD2600 can be bought thru a private importer in NZ via TrademeNZ for around NZD1700, or if I buy one in from the US it works out around NZD1,100 + freight (& gst if 'requested') . . . which is going to be around 1/2 the NZ rrp.
Only catch I can see (except perhaps that the battery charger may be 110v AC) is that the warranty isnt worth a squirt here . . . but how often does a new digicam go faulty these daize eh?!
I suppose I orter ask Minolta NZ how I stand for repairs if I 'bring a camera back with me' etc . .. .. .
. . .. anybody got some USEFUL input on this please?
Cheers
BrooC ;-))
