I have a number of hours in transit at Seoul Incheonon way to OZ. Will I be
able to do any duty free shopping during this time whilst in transit?

I dont see why not . There are a feww duty free shops in the airport.
Downtown Seoul is at least a 3 hour return trip, so unless you havemore than
half a day forget it.

Thanks for the info. I have about 8 hours on return trip. What are prices
like in airport duty free. Of particular interest is digital camcorder &
digital camera.

I dont think the duty free prices are much the same as in oz. There is an
electronics shopping mall just out of Seoul. However the models are
different from oz, most are Japanese models. but are much cheaper than here.
Also warranty is sometimes a problem (even if buying at the DFS) as most are
local warranty only. Sony has world wide warranty, but get it in writing.
