I'm due to arrive in Doha in 3 weeks. I am looking at buying a digital SLR camera. What sort of prices are they in Qatar? I'm just trying to work out whether it would be worth waiting or buy before I fly as there are some reasonable deals in the UK at the moment.

I've just found out that I can claim the VAT back too, HMRC website explains all

Buy your Sony a77 in the UK and bring it with you. I will show you how to use it once you get here ;)

I waited and brought one here but in many ways i wish i had bought it back home in the UK as you get alot more value for your money . i bought a 600D here for 4000 riyals which is about 700 english pounds and i no i could of got it about 100 pound cheaper in the UK but as they say you live and learn but then again it was a great buy! :)

It's always better to buy it from the UK, as you can count on the service. There's also a facility to insure your camera for a premium, something which there's no facility of here in Qatar. (at least not to my knowledge)
