[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 530916, member: 13090"] In looking up Red Tag Camera, I'm 99% certain they sell grey market kit. Now, first and foremost, there's nothing wrong or illegal about grey market kit. GM is cheaper because what you're not paying is the Nikon USA warranty. You get a warranty through the seller. Nikon will not service GM kit (and they can tell from the serial number) for any reason, not even if you pay them to do it; they simply won't touch it. This is fine by me, personally, because Nikon's service, warranty-based or otherwise, generally sucks in my experience and I have plenty of independent camera shops that are happy to work on my grey market cameras who will do it faster, cheaper and without a lot of BS attitude. Still, that's what you're NOT getting when you buy grey market. It's a grey-t way (HA!) save a ton of money but again, you need to know what you're getting into when you buy grey. [/QUOTE]
