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.

My camera purchased thru Amazon Warehouse Deals did not come with the manuel or paperwork. However if you need the manuel you can download it for free from Nikon USA website. You are also covered by Amazon's 1 year warranty. This is why the camera is being offered at a large discount! It comes with the camera body, charger and cable. You will need to purchase a battery and lens to use it. "Amazon Warehouse Deals Get deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as "new". Prior to offering an item for sale on Amazon Warehouse Deals, we verify its physical and functional" I've purchased several Amazon Warehouse Deals and I've always had perfect customer service!

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.

I too have wanted to buy a T2i for a while, ever since I noticed the announcement in February. Then, it was seemingly always out of stock at Amazon. Perhaps I haven't waited long enough, or maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Although I have bought 5 Canon cameras over the years, and I considered myself a Canon loyalist, I am beginning to wonder if maybe I should buy a Nikon as my first digital SLR.

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, 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?

I called the vendor. They gave me a warranty. It's through a third party. I love my camera and the bundle. I was checking about the "grey' market.

When you register the camera, see if there is any information that would help you in this question. I don't remember any such but that doesn't mean it's not available. Actually, I thought Amazon had a warranty program. Might want to check with them.

"Amazon" is listed as an authorized Nikon dealer. Be sure to go to the Nikon website and register when you get your camera.

Please visit the Nikon USA web site and your questions will be accurately answered. All of them. Occasionally there will be a special offer by a SELLER and additional goodies will be included. I think it is always a good idea to visit the manufacturer's web site before purchasing any expensive item. Then you can look around to see if there are any further deals. The only gotcha is when you buy a product that was intended to be sold in another country. These products are called "grey market" and may include different accessories and warranty. This is particularly true with cameras and lenses. Amazon.com is a Nikon, Canon, etc, dealer and therefore does not sell grey market items unless they are so identified. However, be careful of third party offerings on this web site. If in doubt, contact the vendor by email through Amazon and ask explicit questions.

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.

I'd have to go look at the papers for the warranty information. The camera was brand new in box and all. This is an amazing camera package at an amazing deal and I love it.

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.

Peter is NPS and got his shipment directly from Nikon via B&H; Photo, not Amazon. I pre-ordered D800E with Amazon at 12:22 am (PST) Feb. 6, 2012, and have not heard anything yet.
