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.

When I bought from Amazon, It was a brand new camera with full Nikon warranty for a year (if i remember correctly)

Yes. The warranty comes from Pentax with the camera and Amazon has nothing to do with it.

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.

I'm guessing if you are buying other than from Amazon it might be grey market.

I totally agree with you!! Amazon should update the shipment date online. I personally feel that it is very deceiving to customers. I ordered the Nikon D50 on June 22. Amazon kept pushing the delievery date for 3 to 4 times. I just cancelled my order of Nikon d50 from Amazon and order it elsewhere.

Kodak was in bankruptcy and came out in, I believe, Jan 2013. I believe there is warranty support and this might be something you would want to take up with Amazon. As I see it, Amazon takes some responsibility for the companies products they sell. If you have problem with it and don't feel comfortable with buying their products then maybe you should shy away from it. Myself, I feel confident that Amazon won't leave me out in the cold if something goes wrong with one of the products they sell. Hope this helps. By the way, the Camera is great. We bought this for my grandson. I have an older model which I've had for three years and it is working great. Kodak was in bankruptcy and came out in, I believe, Jan 2013.

Nikon USA will not service GREY MARKET cameras and for repair you have to ship them out of country and wait 6 months to come back

You need to ask if the camera at eBay is gray market or if it comes with a full Canon 1 year warranty.

All the Canon equipment I have bought on Amazon has had a US warranty, unless it was from a third party seller, and they usually indicated what kind of warranty it had.

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

usa warranty, we don't sell grey market, Canon will not fix grey market lenses if you face any problem in future

This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. Whether it comes with a warranty card (I assume that's what we're talking about regarding the owners manual) or not seems irrelevent (after all, any hack on ebay can include the warranty card--that doesn't mean Nikon will honor it). What matters (to me, at least) is that Amazon is NOT on Nikon's list of authorized dealers (http://www.nikonusa.com/fileuploads/pdfs/Authorized_Dealers/Nikon_AuthDealers.pdf), and if you're not on there, you're gray market. At least that's what I think . . .

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

It is gray market and you are not able to get a warranty in the US. I sent an email to Circuit Street (the seller) to confirm and they verified it is an import. Unfortunately for me I had purchased already since I saw zero mention of that in the actual listing, whereas every other gray market/import listing on Amazon calls that out. Incredibly deceptive, and now I need to wait 1-2 weeks while Amazon processes my cancelled order and gives me my Amazon credit back before I can go and purchase a legit lens from another seller.
