Prices in Paris are higher for new cameras, but if you're into antique
ones, some pretty good deals can be made compared to the US. The reverse
is true as well. Cheap antique cameras in the US will sell for more over
here...
If you want all the info; upon your arrival go to any museum and buy the
small booklet Paris Photo - it's not unlike New York Photographic and
will tell what's going on where and give you tons of addresses.
