    A friend of mine wants to buy a DSLR camera.
    The only place she found that you can buy it on monthly payments interest free is Harvey Normans + Flexirent. The problem is that HN price is kinda steep - 700 eur for 500d kit (sales advisor said he`d throw a photobag in aswell) .
    Would there be any other alternatives to this?

    Get a credit union loan and buy on-line, ok they'll be interest but you'll still likely pay less then buying in harvey normans even with the credit union interest rate :)

    Here's an example and it isn't even the cheapest
    Canon EOS 500D Digital SLR plus 18-55mm IS Lens

    Don't be tempted by the free gimmicks sales people throw in, they are normall poor quality and can be picked up easily after.

    I agree with Cabaal. I priced a camera last week with HN and it was was €150 more expensive than a on-line store that has high street outlets. The camera was supposedly at a sale price!

    Argos. €619 for a 500D with lens kit, not a bad price and 6 months interest free.

    ..but DO NOT miss the final balloon payment, you'll be bumped in to a high interest loan.
