The store would be left holding a camera that they can no
longer sell as new...
I've worked in retail, sellling at different times, audio equipment and
cameras, if we couldn't sell again as new, (i.e. the camera, or other
gear, looked pristine and the all of the packaging was as new), we
wouldn't give you all of your money back, and after checking all of the
cameras functions, we'd sure as hell sell it as new. Some places charge
a restocking fee as a matter of course.

I don't see how this is very different from a situation where I buy a
camera, use it for two weeks and then decide I don't like it, or
discover a model I like better. If that happened I would bring the
camera back to the store, tell them I didn't like it and get a full
refund. The store would be left holding a camera that they can no
longer sell as new and will take a hit as they'll likely resell it as
a used/opened item at a discount. In fact that scenario is actually
worse for the retailer. In the first scenario, retailer gets a full
credit from vendor or mfr. In the second, they absorb the cost.
I've never understood that type of policy, generally here it's your
responsibility to decide before purchase if the item will suite your
needs, it can only be returned if faulty after purchase, never just
because you don't like it. You just couldn't run a business here with
such open return policies and survive.
