Is it cheaper to buy camera equipment at Changi Airport?

I remember reading a while back that they had this gaurantee that if you can find anything cheaper in town they refund u back twice the difference.

"Double your confidence shopping at Changi Airport with our pricing guarantee! All our prices are guaranteed to be no higher than similar off-airport outlets, established departmental stores and fixed-price shops downtown. If you find any item purchased to be cheaper at any comparable downtown shops within 30 days, we’ll refund you double the price difference!"

to be fair, for quite a while they were selling the E300 for 999, so you cannot say they don't have good deal. and as long as they don't go above RRP, you cannot say they are chopping you.....:dunno:

No. Even without 5% GST, it is still more expensive than most camera shop (I mean really-really camera shop, not tourist camera shop).

you have to compare them with RRP. it is more expensive, I don't think anybody can doubt that, but it's RRP......
