Wasim,

there are several trusted online resellers for Camera and Lens. First, since it provides you with an online transaction, they mostly request you to have paypal account. Other option to pay is with credit card, but it less secure I guess.

Then you can go for adorama.com, which has been my favorite online reseller. They are professional. They provide online tracking for all item purchased. They are able too to send the package to PO Box addresses. Usually, the items will be delivered by FedEx in 3-4 days directly to your address. Or you can use UPS Service, 1-2 days delivery. But you have to pick the item in UPS office and pay some extra customs there.

Last but not least, you can browse on ebay.com for each part of the camera. Again, you are requested to have paypal account. But I don't deal with ebay since their services are worst. You have to wait for 3-4 weeks to have your items delivered.

Good luck!

I have to agree with all of you guy's - Photo Equipment is very expensive here. like JaneyJaney suggests, buy from Amazon you can save thousands buying from them compared to Qatar

so better take consideration of having them compare to your homecountry and acquire thereafter...

If possible try to get a camera from the US or somewhere else, photo equipment is very expensive in Qatar, much more expensive than in other countries.

Once I wanted to buy a filter for my lens, I checked prices in US and in Salam, in Salam it was SIX TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE!!

Nope, with your budget you can only dream about a DSLR, you need to spend at least 5K to get a nice one.

Do a Search on QL as this has been discussed previously.

(you might get a used one with one lens for 2K Rials)
