There are no fakes on the camera, so what else should we pay attention to? Many people will have such questions when they see this article. The camera does not have fakes, but unscrupulous businesses can still earn more money through various tricks. If you don't want to be defrauded of extra money when you buy a camera, then this article suggests that you read from the beginning to the end. Then, the secret of our deception will begin.
The annual buy camera anti-fraud cheats are ready.
â— Deception 1: Be careful with parallel importsThis trick is actually the most common in the market today. After all, the profit brought by this trick is the biggest. As we all know, the price of domestic camera products has an advantage over the European market, but for Hong Kong, Japan and other markets, the price is still high. As a result, many unscrupulous merchants will purchase some parallel imports from informal channels (parallel imports are licensed in other countries), and then sell them to consumers at the price of domestic licensed goods. These spreads can be much larger than the profits of regular licensed goods.
How to avoid buying parallel imports? If it is an e-commerce, it can only be identified after getting the product; if it is a store, the site must check and compare the bar code of the camera.
Licensed parallel imports can be compared
Most of the parallel imports are licensed using licensed goods, and the products inside are parallel imports. In the early years, it was possible to see if the box was opened by the seal on the camera box, but now the method of the unscrupulous merchant is already very high, and it is impossible to identify it through the seal. It is only possible to compare the barcodes on the camera body.
If it is authentic licensed, the bar code on the box and the bar code on the fuselage must be consistent. If they are inconsistent, you can go back and look for the merchant to pay. There is also a case where the barcode is always, but the barcode sticker on the fuselage is a fake. This requires everyone to understand the appearance of the licensed sticker. Generally, there are related pictures on the Internet. You can compare it yourself.
If there are friends around and buy similar cameras, you can compare them together. Generally, the bar code stickers posted by the merchants themselves are fake, but when there is no comparison, it can be fake.
â— Deception 2: Replace the original accessoriesSometimes, on the camera itself, once it is discovered, it may face a large amount of compensation, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, many unscrupulous merchants will choose to work on the accessories. The camera's accessories are nothing more than chargers, batteries, SLR and micro-cameras, as well as lens caps and body caps.
Accessories are also profitable
Don't underestimate these accessories. If it's a high-end camera, the price of these accessories adds up to at least a few hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. The corresponding domestic fake goods are very cheap, and dozens of yuan can be settled, so there are many profits.
If it is a replacement lens cap and body cap, it does not have much impact on the use. If it is a replacement battery or a charger, it will seriously affect the power of shooting and the efficiency of charging.
The battery is the easiest to replace
Of course, if you change it, you can still see it. The fake battery and the fake charger are definitely incomparable with the original one, and can be quickly detected when used. If you notice a problem with the battery or charger, don't panic, go to the official repair point of the major camera brands to verify, after confirming that it is a fake, you can justify the business theory. Remember, the voucher at the time of purchase must be saved.
Of course, in order to avoid trouble, you can save the photos of the battery and the charger in the mobile phone before the purchase, and compare them on the spot to avoid the subsequent tossing for fake accessories. Photos of the battery and charger can be found in our review article.
â— Deception 3: low-priced refurbished goodsTo be honest, anti-fraud is now not only in the store. Because of the rise of e-commerce in recent years, more than half of the people have turned to Taobao, Jingdong, Amazon and other e-commerce when they buy cameras. If Tmall, JD, Amazon, or the official flagship store of major camera brands, you will not encounter problematic products, but you can be careful with third-party private stores.
Don't just try to be cheap, maybe it's a low-priced refurbished
We often see some of Taobao's stores selling very cheap camera products. The models are familiar to us. The more famous the products, the more famous. However, we often see that some products are very cheap, far lower than the market price, so be careful, because you may fall into the trap because of greed.
The low price of the product is not the conscience of the merchant to sell or lose money, but because the product he sells is a problem. The problem cargo may be a repaired second-hand product or a refurbished product. Like the official website of Apple's mobile phone, it has sold a lot of refurbished goods, the price is very low, but people are very clear. If you want to buy a brand new long-awaited camera, but you have bought a refurbished product, you will definitely be dissatisfied.
How to identify, or go to the official flagship store or e-commerce self-operated store mentioned above, although the price is less profitable, but at least the source of supply can be guaranteed. Remember not to be cheap, after all, people who do business are not philanthropists.
â— Deception 4: The lens is the easiest to change modelAt the beginning of the game, everyone bought a camera to buy a kit, so there is no problem. However, after using it for a while, you may choose to upgrade the body, you may choose to upgrade the lens, in order to meet more of your photography needs. When upgrading the lens, if you don't know enough about the difference between the lens group and the model, then you have to be careful.
The lens model is complicated, and the model is forcibly changed.
For example, after using the camera for a while, I found that the aperture of the zoom lens is not big enough, I want to buy a fixed-focus lens. After coming to the store, I might have seen a fixed-focus lens with a large aperture of F1.8, but the merchant told you that it was out of stock, and then recommended a similar F1.4 large aperture fixed-focus lens. You seem to have earned it, and bought a lens with a larger aperture. I don't know that the quality, dispersion, and purple fringe of the second lens may not be as good as the first lens, or the focus is very slow. The price of the second lens is not familiar to you, and you may be fooled into a lot of budget.
In fact, facing such a problem is very simple. First, you have to determine the determination to buy your own chosen lens, do not convert the model because of the merchant's suggestion; second, if this is out of stock, you can go to the next one, the price will also be shop around, and there is electricity Merchants can choose; third, if you are successfully brainwashed by the merchant's suggestion, then you should go to other merchants to compare the price of the lens and so on. Caution is the boat.
â— Understanding that it is not greedy is the core of anti-fraudIn fact, for consumers, who wants to have a trick in their purchase process. But sometimes, consumers often "make two", especially when faced with bad business in the battlefield, it is the most useful magic weapon to enhance their awareness of prevention.
In fact, when illegal businesses are cheating on you, they mainly use two kinds of psychology. One is that your professional knowledge is insufficient, and the other is that you are greedy for money and greed.
Don’t be tempted to buy a camera when you buy it.
Insufficient expertise can be made up before purchase. The so-called frontal grinding gun, not fast and light, the grinding gun is always stronger than not grinding. Before buying, carefully read the evaluation and experience articles of the camera, lens, etc. you want to purchase in Zhongguancun Online, so that you can get a general understanding of the product. If the unscrupulous merchants play games on the text, you can expose them at a glance and avoid being deceived.
It is very important not to be greedy. In fact, most consumers who are deceived, whether they are buying cameras or buying other products, are greedy because they are greedy. Not greedy, not greedy and cheap, so unscrupulous businesses can not start, you can fundamentally put an end to the possibility of being cheated.
Finally, I still want to remind everyone that now you can buy cameras and lenses, you can choose Tmall, Jingdong, Amazon's self-employed or official flagship store, so you can completely eliminate the possibility of being cheated. If you are cheated in these stores, you should be thankful, because they pay enough to buy a lot of equipment.
