True. Hence I bit the bullet and bought one. Lol

No no. I want to know if that seller and a grey market copy is legit.

I know he's legit. They have been around for a long time. I don't mind grey market. I was more a bit apprehensive about the warranty card but people were right, after a year it doesn't make any difference (at least not much).

If a non-gray market version drops to $1,999 I shall buy.

Did you get yours yet? It looks like the deal is back again.

Not yet- shipping delay due to weather on the E Coast. I'm not in a hurry so it's okay with me.

Edit: just got notification that it was shipped today. Should be here by end of week.

Alright, good progress. Keep us posted mate.

It's been widely reported that Canon doesn't refuse warranty service on cameras bought from non-authorized dealers, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy a grey market camera. This deal is currently not active, however - I think the price jumped back up $250 a few days ago.

Right. Different seller but yes, you are correct.

P1 · 02-27-2015, 09:56 AM

Looks like it's $1,949 now!

Lol. Not sure if there is still a promo for ebay bucks. With the original deal, you get $100 in ebay bucks. If you can get $50 in ebay bucks with this deal then it's all a wash.

How is the camera?

They tried delivering it but I wasn't home. Lol
I was hoping to have it on hold at the office but they said a direct signature is needed so they can't hold it. Besides, the office closes before the driver gets back. If this was UPS it would have been easier; FedEx Ground seems strict.

My brother should be home today so he can sign for it.

Sounds good, we're making progress here.

How about that warranty? Did you get a USA warranty card? Upload some photos of the camera, and a few initial shots. Thanks!

BMW F22 · 03-05-2015, 09:43 PM

No warranty card. I know some that bought from bigvalueinc got them though. And no pix because it's too much work and i am lazy.
