Looking for some more up-to-date advice from what I could find in the 'Digital camera' sticky.
I'm looking at getting something in the $275 and down range of point-and-shoot. Will what I could get back home for $275 get me the same thing here?

i.e. Could I head to Namdaemun and haggle a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 or PowerShot SD980 IS down to its North American price ..or less? I know places like Hi-Mart will be more expensive and non-negotiable. I'm assuming ebay et al. wouldn't make much sense considering customs fees etc.

Thanks

I have enjoyed the two Cannon point and shoots that I've had in the past, and would recommend them over most brands.

I am partial to Canons as well. Have a Canon SLR and my old point and shoot was Canon before I broke it.

Any ideas on the purchasing of one in Korea though as per my above questions??

youll prob get the most hastle-free and cheapest price online

shopping.naver.com
global.gmarket.co.kr
daum.co.kr

and others

or at least check out the prices there first

[BrenSmith]

Gmarket selection and pricing certainly leaves much to be desired so far.

I'm very happy with my ZS3 but found it cheaper in Australia than Korea.
