hi guys, have you ever bought a dslr at nuphoto at orchard? hows the review?
Doing business in Orchard does not necessarily qualify them as tourist trap. As always, buyers should do their due diligence. Never bought anything from them though.
Agree totally. There still some shops in the orchard area who are honest. Iphoto comes to mind.
One shouldn't jump to conclusions. Rather, do your homework, arm yourself with the right knowledge, and your chances of getting ripped off will greatly decrease.
why is Iphoto so special ?
I don't know why they are special, but they have been one of the stores well known with great pricing and service for many years, even when they are known as Lord's.
In 2007,I was introduced to Lord's by a professional photographer who is active in Clubsnap where I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D 80 with a Sigma lens.
It was only when I brought the lens to Sigma to correct a problem that I was told that it was a parallel import, a grey set.
I was not told of the status of the lens at the time of purchase and given the opportunity to accept or reject their offer.
Obviously, from then on, I have steered clear of them.
Honesty, I believe brings greater rewards.
My friend recently bought a Pentax lens from Nu Photo and it is a warrantied set from local distributor. hey do have grey sets too if you enquire.
Buy is can buy. Just be careful and make sure customer pay for what he getting
