[QUOTE="filterxg, post: 197833, member: 15633"] I'm in the market for a D5200 body only and there is a huge range in price. The most reputable shops like B&H, Adorama, and Amazon list it around $700. They all come with a bunch of low value accessories, which indicates that Nikon is enforcing that price point and not allowing much discounting. Then there is a group that are all likely grey market around $600. They include 42nd photo (which may or may not be grey, but have sold some grey and is very defensive on what they are selling) and ebay (which admits it is grey market). Then there is another group of very shady stores around $500. These all have reputations for hard selling extended warranties, and up selling junk in general. Think AJrichies & Primotronix. I take it for granted that these are all grey market. [U] Anyway what kind of discount would it take for you to consider grey market, 10%, 15%, 25%?[/U] I believe everything has it's price, but as my experience is very limited I have no clue what a manufacturer's warranty is worth. How much do out of warranty repairs cost? How likely are cameras to break in the warranty period? [/QUOTE]
