I trust Amazon. Whatever you do, please don't deal with Broadway photo. THEY were going to sell me a grey market camera and not tell me. Please do be wary, but Amazon.com would surely be a safe bet.

Check out Tamron's website. They offer a 6-year warranty on all their lenses...parts and labor regardless of where you buy it. Just have to show proof of purchase (original invoice). Don't know if this is true for grey market as well, but worth a phone call to Tamron.

I purchased this camera New directly from Amazon and received it 2 weeks ago. So far everything seems fine. But I would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing" so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future. I am sure many others are in the same situation and would like a further explanation from Amazon. Please Amazon, what gives?

If Amazon is the seller of this product. Amazon is a certified canon seller and canon warranty should be available.

Most of the Amazon Marketplace vendors are not authorized Nikon USA dealers. Check the vendor against the Nikon site. Nonvendors, however, sometimes sell Nikon USA cameras with warranties. Send the camera back if there is no yellow warranty slip. The Nikon "recall" only applies to warranted cameras. Nikon has been installing an updated shutter since April 2014. My experience says you'll likely need one if yours wasn't rebuilt after that date.

If the lens is new and purchased from a Nikon authorized retailer, the lens will be U.S. - these retailers cannot sell new grey market lenses or cameras. Same with Manufacturer refurbished equipment. If the lens is used, the retailers can sell grey market lenses but they must state that the lens is grey market. If the lens is being sold by a 3rd party seller or non-reputable retailer, you may need to ask as these individuals seldom advertise whether or not a lens is U.S. or Grey Market. Note that a grey market lens is not inferior to a U.S. lens - only that you will not be able to get it serviced by Nikon USA if you do have a problem.

It's US Market, NOT GREY Market at all. I register mine I bought here on my Canon CPS support account.

We do not sell any gray market or parallel import products and would not advertise an item in a misleading way. Our items are sold exactly as advertised. We are Authorized Dealers and sell the exact same camera in our store. We are a retail store (one location-not a chain) and have been in business for over 20 years. You can check out our references on the web and at Better Business Bureau Online http://www.bbbonline.com A gray market camera is a camera that is manufactured to be sold in the European or Asian market. Some dealers will import them and sell them in the USA but they are NOT covered under ANY warranty or USA rebate and they are not made to the proper USA specifications. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

If it does not come with a US warranty, it is gray market, and Amazon should not allow it.

Amazon does not source gray market items, so it would come with a USA Warranty. However, if you are buying from any other sellers make sure you verify.

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

Hello, the Canon USA warranty is one year, and is only applicable on Canon USA lenses, not grey market. The warranty is through Canon USA, so you would need to contact Canon for warranty repair. Thanks.

This is a grey market camera so it is not backed by Nikon USA Warranty. From Nikons website: "Does owning a "Gray Market" Nikon product mean I don't have a warranty? No! All Nikon products come with a warranty by the manufacturer. The designated Nikon service center will always repair "in warranty" Nikon products and perform "out of warranty" repairs. If you own a Gray Market product it will need to be returned to the reseller or importer for service. Refer to your reseller or to the warranty cards included with the product for service contact information." https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/331/~/what-is-gray-market%3F

This is a grey market item. Canon will not offer any warenty. I have one and have had no issue with the lens for a year.

Can't speak for the seller of the camera. However, my camera purchased new from an authorized retailer came with a battery, charger and cord and was not a grey market item. A memory card was not included. I would check with the seller you intend to purchse from before making the purchase so as to confirm what accessories the camera includes. Hope this assists you as this is a nice camera for the price.
