[QUOTE="Pebbleheed, post: 350931, member: 24344"] I wouldn't buy an expensive camera as a grey import. I've had grey imports in the past, but only for cheaper cameras or lenses. If it's a more expensive item I'd go for the uk model every time. It costs that bit more but piece of mind with a genuine warranty is a winner for me every time. Tamron is a good example of this. Get a grey import tamron, get 1 maybe 2 years unofficial warranty. Get a uk model, get 5 years manufacturers warranty without any hassle. The D7100 is a better camera than the D7000 but the question is if it's worth you paying for the improvements? If I had a choice of my D7100 or my friend's D7000 I'd have my D7100 every day of the week. But if I had to pay a few hundred to upgrade from one to the other I'm not sure if I'd wait to see what's around the corner. Will the D7100 make a big difference to you? What exactly are you paying for? Would you benefit for waiting for the next model up to get even more of an upgrade route for your money? If it were me, I'd consider the second option. [/QUOTE]
