[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 87072, member: 8344"] All grey market means is that the camera came from another country, say Taiwan and went to an UN-Authorized Nikon Dealer. It is still a Nikon made D800. Nikon AU makes no money at all from the sale, and thus, get their backs up. Boo-hoo for them. You saved $890? Well, good enough reason for me. You have NO Nikon AU warranty so go to the store and let them fix or replace it. They will most likely NOT replace it. This is typical. They will try to fix it first. This is the gamble you take with buying from an Un-Authorized dealer. Don't use the term Grey Market. The Big Corporations use this "buzz" word to scare you into thinking it is a cheap knock off, illegal, garbage product blah blah blah. It is NOT. It is a REAL NIKON CAMERA that was brought in by a business with a source that buys them legitimately. I doubt this store would be selling stolen items. The real question here is, why can a camera store that is NOT AUTHORIZED bring in a camera and sell it $890 less than the Nikon Authorized Dealer? How about that!? Why, Nikon AU? Before you do any of this, again, make sure it is not DUST on the sensor! Save yourself a ton of grief and post a picture here of it when you get back to your Mac. [/QUOTE]
