What is the difference of Item Model Number 6098B001 (Canon Japan) and 6098B002 (Amazon)?

I would assume the Japan model is for Japanese Canons and the other is US. I don't think there is any fitment issues but you might want to double check with Canon to be certain.

One is covered by a Canon USA warranty and the other is what some folks call "gray market" and has a international warranty and will not be covered or repaired by Canon USA.The 2 parts are the same.

I can't say for sure, but I'll guess that the Amazon one is covered by a Canon USA warranty, while the one from Japan isn't. Maybe the sellers can answer the question.

I agree with xapshot; No difference in quality or functionality of the two. Only two different marketing areas that Canon feels should kept apart. Concerning warranty I don't know the difference. I find it sensible to agree again with xapshot on that matter as well :)

Japan and USA warranty. By the way, I never needed to use a warranty with a canon lens. This one is wonderful.

I believe that most of Canons high end equipment is made in Japan. And that's not a bad thing. Japanese photo equipment is a very well made and I've had no complaints with my equipment for 40 + years.

Thanks for your great response NLee the Engineer. I already put in for a return to Amazon. Worse case, if I decide to re-purchase, I will be getting a free SD card in the deal. Its really a shame that the "Made in China" has such a negative stigma to it. I am sorry to hear that streamlined processes get moved to off-shore factories. I guess if I never read the responses posted here, I would never notice the difference but once you are informed, there is no going back. I looked at my last Canon SD500 camera and it was "made in Japan".

Visit www.canon.com and put in the model number. They have contacts who will be back with you promptly. I'll have to see for myself sometime but so far, I haven't needed to look for it.

how could you recognize that your canon camera is made in Japan and not in somewhere else?

You can keep trying, or you can order a Japanese-made Canon part for about twice the price (but WAY less than the list price) from Honk Kong. I did, and it was a genuine Canon part; works perfectly. Well worth it!

I ordered the brown... then canceled my order a day later after I found out there is a silver one coming out. Seriously?? Brown for a color on a new camera.Just found on flea bay the japanese version. same camera but in sliver. $410 plus 25 to ship. No thanks, I will wait it out for Bestbuy or Amazonhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-IXY-50S-SILVER-Powershot-SD-4500-IXUS-1000-HS-/120622296346?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash;=item1c15a62d1a

I'm not an expert but my best advise is to go to the Canon website and check for yourself. Here's the link below http://usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon/standard_display/aboutcounterfeits?WT.mc_id=C202414&WT.ac=cusahpbanner_anticounter&cm_sp=AntiC-_-iNet-_-cusahpbanner_anticounter

Hi Theresa. This is no difference. Sony only makes one HX50. Typically, the /B would indicate that the camera is Black. You can always call Sony at 1-877-865-7669 and they will be happy to explained differences, if any.

Hey Miguel, I didn't see that info on the Canon site. Thanks for your response and the info. Now we'll just have to wait. All the best!

Yes. Manual and camera are the U.S. model, unless you are ordering it in directly from a Japanese retailer. All of the Amazon U.S. based retailers will sell you the U.S. version of the camera.

I bought it on Amazon so I don't know if it is the one on the Canon website, but I ordered 2 and all three work very well. I hope this helps.

My very best suggestion is to go to the Canon web site to look for the specs for these items for that specific camera to determine the manufacturer suggestions. I have had bad experiences by not doing that.

From the picture it looks identical to the BU-20 I got from Canon's eStore this month. To be fair, Canon doesn't seem to offer much info on this product either. I'll probably post a review once I've used it some more.

all that I can see is that fact that on the back on the package it says 2013 Canon USA are registered trademarks ect ect. There are no code dates on package that says a date. Only thing that I can see is 143505. I can't get the colors at Best Buy any more and these work fine.
