Warranty and other expenses

Will you need to buy power adapters for this item once you get it home? What if it breaks? Will your warranty still be valid once you have returned home or will you be stuck with a broken camera? Some items will come with an international warranty card, but the manufacturer will claim that it was a “grey market” purchase and therefore will not honour the international warranty. More sinisterly, quite a few camera manufacturers (Canon especially) only offers local warranty, so if your camera breaks when you’ve come back home, you’re out of luck. Of course, if you ensure that you buy high quality brands (Canon, Nikon, etc), you’re less likely to need your warranty, but that’s a different point altogether.

Q. What is a Photo Walk?

A. It’s a social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.
