Risks of buying fake cameras exposed by AP/BBC poll
An AP reader has warned of the dangers of buying cheap grey-market camera gear after he was told his £1,500 Canon EOS 7D was a fake. Tristan Findley was responding to an Amateur Photographer (AP) survey about counterfeit kit, launched in conjunction with BBC consumer rights show Fake Britain. ‘I always buy from authorised sellers now,’ said Tristan, who said he unwittingly bought a counterfeit Canon EOS 7D digital SLR in 2010. Tristan paid nearly £1,500 for the 18-millon-pixel camera, saving more than £200 on the list price at the time.
