Price of Canon DSLR Camera in UAE?

Question

I am planning visiting Dubai in near future and have decided to buy one of the following cameras.

Canon 400D w/kit

Canon 450D w/kit

Canon 1000D w/kit

So I am wondering which prices I can expect in Dubai? and which shops?

Answer 1

The prices of the above models are pretty similar in all shops +/- AED 50 in Dubai. But relative to the prices in ebay, these models when bought locally cost more, like AED 250 - AED 300 more..maybe because of import duties..

I have been looking around for the price of the 450d kit (Plug-ins, Canon shops) it's AED 3,750 - AED 3,799 or US$ 1,035 roughly! Quite expensive compared to prices in other countries.

The 400d and 1000d should be cheaper by around AED 1,000.

Check out also a camera store at the building behind the twin towers in baniyas-deira, they have a huge pile of camera/accessories and sigma lenses.

Cheers.
