Is there a risk of counterfeit cameras on ebay?
I'm looking at buying a "Mirrorless" camera, or a "compact system camera" and I've been looking on ebay, but I've been wondering if there's a risk of buying a fake?

I don't worship lenses, nor do I see the 3 primes as a "trinity"
there is only one Holy Trinity and they certainly aren't lenses

I'm really interested in the Sony Alpha NEX-C3. Seems like the cheapest price here in Toronto or ordering from the US is $549, but after tax and/or shipping, it's a little over $600.mk5gti wrote: ↑which model are you looking at? sometimes buying local is even cheaper than buying in Ebay?
as Canadian price isn't that bad, i was told the target buyer is European buyer, as they pay way more than we do.
if you really have to, look for the best review, do'nt mind paying a few bucks more for good reviewed seller.

There's a bunch of sellers in Hong Kong selling brand new with a lens for $517 (free shipping). I'm just wondering if I can even trust a seller from Hong Kong as there's a lot of counterfeit in Asia. I don't want to sound racist, because I'm Korean and I saw a bunch from Korea that I wouldn't buy either because I know Korea has a lot of counterfeit.

Maybe show us the link. I would say it's safe, I've purchased the 16mm f2.8 E-mount (I have the NEX-5N) from a Hong Kong seller.tokenasianguy wrote: ↑I'm looking at buying a "Mirrorless" camera, or a "compact system camera" and I've been looking on ebay, but I've been wondering if there's a risk of buying a fake?

Having said that, in a competitive world, many will price match anyway so it doesn't hurt to ask.
