Camera purchase comparison
A lower sticker price is only one part of a camera purchase. Compare the exact same body or kit, then account for the costs and support you would actually receive.
Need to compare condition, warranty or shop questions too? Use the camera shopping fieldbook.
Compare your quotes
The example button only fills empty forms. Example amounts are not live quotes.
Enter your own amounts. Use 0 for a cost that does not apply. No prices or exchange rates are fetched automatically.

Your plan as text
You can copy this into your notes app. Changing the exchange-rate direction, any amount or checkmark clears this draft; create it again after changes.
Worked example
Example: ¥100,000 × 0.0067, with a 2% payment fee and 20 in other costs, gives 703.40 in your home currency. Against a home quote of 750, the difference is 46.60.
Before you buy
Check these items as you plan, then use your browser's print option to keep a copy. Checkmarks are not saved.
Use comparable quotes
Match the model suffix, condition, accessories and warranty coverage before comparing prices. A used body and a new kit are different purchases even if the model name matches.
What belongs in other costs?
Include only costs relevant to this purchase, such as an extra shopping trip, shipping or an amount you have independently confirmed for import charges. Enter them in the same home currency as your home-market quote. This tool does not determine tax eligibility or import obligations.
Read the result as a price comparison
A positive saving does not compensate automatically for missing language options, difficult returns or unsuitable warranty coverage. If any of those is essential, settle it before paying.
