Sony Alpha 7 IV (body)

Singapore's camera-shop price-match culture plus the GST refund makes flagship mirrorless bodies meaningfully cheaper than India and competitive with US pricing, with no sales tax at the register after refund.

Price: 3149 SGD (Lowest current Singapore retail for new body (PriceMe aggregator, Jul 2026); authorized dealers run promos as low as ~S$2,700 and Sony Store SG runs cashback events)

Where to buy: Alan Photo / SLR Revolution at Funan, Cathay Photo, TK Foto, Sony Store (313 Somerset)

• Get quotes from 2-3 Funan/City Hall shops — they routinely match or beat each other's prices
• Confirm warranty region: Sony Singapore sets ship with local/regional warranty, not global — check coverage for India/US before buying
• After the ~8% GST refund the effective price beats India comfortably; Indian travelers must declare above the ₹50,000 allowance
• Watch Sony Store SG cashback promos (S$670 cashback ran in 2026) — sometimes beats the grey-ish street price
