[QUOTE="aroy, post: 327836, member: 16090"] That is not possible. Nikon will not have two lines for their bodies. All bodies are same. The reason for lower cost of imports are many, here are some of them : . Legal imports are handled by the local Nikon Subsidiary, who set the warranty policies, maintain repair facilities and determine the retail price (within a reason). . Importers buy from whole sale dealers, and the margins for these dealers are any where between 15% and 30%. In India the dealers give a 15% to the retailers, so they will have a bigger margin. . Imports have no repair liability, hence the dealers need not "waste" any money for repair infrastructure. . Many unscrupulous importers do import repackaged goods; mostly returns from customers; which they get at a hefty discount. In short there are many reasons for imports to be much cheaper, than legally imported goods. [/QUOTE]
