Frequently Asked Questions
Orders
How can I place my order with you?
You can either place your order online or give us a call on 1300 431 431 and we’d be happy to assist you with any questions over the phone.
For face-to-face advice and product demos you can also visit our showroom, where you can browse our large range of professional photographic equipment.
Does a camera I purchase from you come with a genuine Australian warranty?
Yes, all the products we carry come with a genuine Australian manufacturer's warranty. This gives you the peace of mind that you have full local cover for technical support, firmware upgrades, and repairs for a minimum of 12 months.
Can I extend my warranty?
Currently we do not offer extended warranty.
What’s the difference between Australian stock and grey market products?
CameraPro carries exclusively Australian stock, which means that all our products are sourced from the authorised distributor or manufacturer in Australia. For you, this means peace of mind knowing that you are fully covered by the manufacturer in Australia, as well as the Australian Consumer Law should any issues arise with your purchase.
All in-stock items are held in our warehouse in Brisbane, which means incredibly fast delivery for customers Australia-wide!
Australian stock also means entitlement to all manufacturer rebates/cashbacks, and for eligible working professionals it means full support from Canon CPS and Nikon NPS within Australia. CPS and NPS include priority service and in some cases free loan of equipment while your gear is under service.
Finally, Australian stock means full eligibility for the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS), as well as the ability to claim GST for eligible businesses. For eligible customers this means a claim back of the 10% GST paid on purchase, which is a significant saving on cost.
Can I buy duty free goods from you?
All quoted prices include GST. Under the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) Australian residents and visitors may be eligible to claim back the GST on goods purchased within 60 days of leaving the country.

What are ‘white box’ or ‘plain box’ lenses?
Sometimes new camera-and-lens kits are separated and sold as individual items. Lenses separated from such kits are known as ‘white box’ or ‘plain box’ lenses. They are brand new stock with all standard manufacturer inclusions (e.g. lens caps) and full Australian manufacturer warranty coverage. They just don’t include their original packaging.
I have some questions about choosing the right gear. Can you help me?
That’s what we’re here for! Give us a call on 1300 431 431 or email us via our contact form and our staff will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have, be it finding your first DSLR, setting up a studio, or even helping you to choose the perfect gift for your family and friends.

Change of mind
Generally we do not offer refunds for change for mind returns and we encourage you to consult our staff for advice before making a purchase. Certain products may be returned for store credit (a restocking fee of up to 25% may apply). Please consult one of our staff at the time of purchase should you have any questions about this.
Gifts
It can be difficult to purchase photography gear for others when you consider the many variables. We want to make the process is as pain-free as possible for you, so if you're purchasing a gift for someone, let us know ahead of time and we can pre-authorise a return should you purchase the wrong item. (Pre-authorisation is offered on a case-by-case basis and is subject to approval, and terms and conditions apply.) We also have gift cards available for purchase.
