Can I Buy A Camera In Mexico?

Electronics are available in Mexican cities, though selection and prices may differ from what you'd find at home. For specialized equipment, bringing what you need is advisable.

Major retailers like Liverpool, Palacio de Hierro, and electronics chains carry cameras and accessories in large cities. However, prices are often higher than US retail, and specific models may not be available.

Basic camera supplies—memory cards, batteries, and common accessories—are available in tourist areas and camera shops. Specialty items like particular lenses, underwater housings, or professional equipment may be difficult to find.

If photography is important to your trip, bring all necessary equipment from home. Also carry cleaning supplies for lenses, as dust and humidity affect equipment in tropical environments. Having your camera gear examined by a professional before a major trip is worthwhile.
