Duty Free - not so great
Been having a look at the duty free prices at Brisbane airport on camera gear. Not very good i reckon, especially on the accessories – i would say they are expensive. Take into account that a traveler can get their 10% GST back on any purchase over $300 made in a retail store within 30 days of travel (TRS) then the gap is even greater.
Good for last minute shopping but certainly not the great deal a lot of punters are led to believe.

My Photography experience started in 2003/4 with a Nikon D70 passed onto me by my father. At first it was definitely the gadget that caught my attention. The art grew on me later. This passion mixed in with my Online Marketing and Web Development background will be the focus of my posts on CameraTalk.

I share your enthusiasm for airport duty free (sarcasm meter reading: extremely high). Talk to anyone at an airport duty free store about camera gear and their knowledge of the technology will leave you speechless. The best thing about an airport is the take-off.
