Getting a camera

At the moment I am woring in Africa and the Middle East do not have access to quality technology.(grossly overpriced) I have done some travelling and am sick of going to great places without being able to take good pics. I am hitting Italy this summer and would love to be able to take some great shots. I ordered a cannon S3 but there were difficulties and the order was scrapped. I am landing frankfurt and then going to Milan. Is there a high quality camera store anyone knows of in those cities that is not a rip off?

Hi Nick - if you don't get an answer here, I'd recommend checking out dpreview.com . It's a great digital camera resource and someone there may be better equipped to offer a suggestion. Good luck. -Kris

Nick, tell me which model you're interested at and I can find out the price at Frankfurt airport's duty free shop for your comparisons...

Hello, I am a professional photographer. I would suggest ordering online with B&H photo. Ask them if they can ship it to you in Germany.

If you are ordering online - and know what you like - you can always use AMAZON.com - they are often cheaper than the retail stores - and ship international. I bought a book on the UK-amazon that offered a book not yet available in USA - and it was a few dollars extra to ship to US, so the same may work for you on the Euro version of Amazon. Or just order from US - to make sure you get a US-version with US-power adapter if you want that.
