What is in the D40x Box? First and foremost, is this a US Model or an Import?

The cam from amazon.com is not a grey market, it is a real US model. I bought one about 2 months ago, so I know, and had the exact same concern you did. I have also seen other third party dealers selling though amazon, so I don't know about them. I recommed for something like this you make sure it is amazon selling it directly. The outfit kit comes with the lens (there's options on this), 1 Lion battery, 1 charger, 1 full size neck strap, lens covers for body, and both sides of lens, quick start guide, and manual, CD rom, a number of warranty cards, and is body is made in thailand (not Japan). It does not come with a memory card (and you must have this and a fast one at that), or any type of case. The cam can be connected to a TV though a composite video connection, but it does not come with this cable. It can also take a remote control, but again you will have to buy this sepparte. The only thing that it should come with and doesn't is software to read the raw format photos.

Purchased two Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW from Alptop and they were both Chinese versions in brown box. Amazon took them back and claimed it was their fault because they fulfilled the order. I'm not so sure about that. I purchased from CondorD and Nelly's and they were both the English version, in retail packaging (red and white box). I contacted CondorD by email before I purchased and they confirmed that they only sell the English version. (No listing at the moment for this camera)

I was able to get it as US but I have hear of UK models showing up. Ask the seller first or buy from the sony site directly.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

I bought this lens. I love it. It is made by Canon. I believe the import means it comes from outside the US.

I completely agree with D.P., but one major point to consider when buying from the E-Bay is that a lot of those cameras with "nice price" are coming from grey market, which means they do not have a 1 year US Warranty, and some parts may differ from the US models(i.e. battery charger with cord vs directly plug to the wall US version)etc... Anyway if you decide to purchase from the E-Bay make sure to ask the seller if this is a US or a grey market version.Good Luck.

I usually buy USA version for all my camera gear, but I'm not 100% sure TC-14E II is USA or import, probably USA version.

I think you just picked up the DX somewhere. The lens is DX with or without that in the seller's description. Note though that the new model is a VRII.

Camera, mounts for microphone, NO LENS, NO EXTERNAL MICROPHONE, no lens adapters. You get a plug for the front, you get a manual, NO BOOK about the camera like the US model gets. Its a great camera and worth it, but plan on getting about $1000 - $1500 of stuff extra besides. I love mine... and get to go shoot with it today for a client. Its a little inherently telephoto, so plan on buying a low number lens like a 12 - 35 range, since an 18-55 will be too tight for many shots indoors. I also run a 75-300 and its great with shallow depth of field if you like that look in video. It does not have any SDXC cards, a 64GB card will run about $60 or a bit less. It does come with the 120 volt standard plug in adapter and battery and charger so you can use it in the US with no problems.

Sounds like the package I received in October, except I have the Reference Manual CD instead of the Nikon School CD. There is a web address for the school. Two front lens caps and also a Nikon soft lens bag was included. I only needed to purchase a memory card separately.

Get yourself a new D40 and lens for around $400.00. Sometimes used can be unreliable.

I am in the same boat. I am highly contemplating the d40/d40x and the Rebel xt/xti. Right now I am leaning towards the d40 as I don't plan on doing large size prints for the most part and I've heard that the Nikon lens kit is better. My only concern is that I want to do some HDR photography, and the Nikon's don't have AEB which concerns me, but I'm seeing a lot of discussion about shooting in RAW and getting similar results from one picture. Should I go with the XTi so I know I can do HDR properly and suffer with lower quality lenses, or get the D40/x and shoot in RAW and be done with it?

The other sellers have likely gotten their stock via the international market. In the USA, canon has not yet released the D10. A lot of the other sellers that have the camera on amazon right now are based out of New York City which is a hot spot for the "international" products. I found all of this out while in NYC last summer looking for a 5D. Personall, I would wait until amazon gets the camera to avoid any potential issues (for example, some of the international products or "grey market" canon eos 5d's that I looked at in NYC had a plastic body as opposed to the magnesium alloy body that canon produces and sells)

I would ask the seller for details. It should come with a yellow USA warranty card, "U" on the side of the box label, and a small Nikon USA sticker inside the battery cover. Also, I would ask the seller if there would be any issue with registering the camera with Nikon USA. Based on the price, I would guess that it is a US model, but be careful (check it out). I hope this help you out!

I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor. It does come with all it shows, but it is a grey market camera which is NOT advertised. This means the camera was not manufactured to be purchased in the United States. The one I received was intended to be purchased by consumers in Europe. What this means to you is that you will get a camera for less money that Nikon will NOT warranty. Let me repeat this... if anything goes wrong with the camera or Nikon lenses, no one will touch them; you are on your own. I repurchased a similar kit on Amazon through Adorama. They had the best price for a kit that comes with all US warranties. Happy shopping. I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor.

Japan from all I can find. I thought I saw it on the camera at some point. It is on the box and the extra lense I bought.
