Elec.Valley via eBay has the Canon EOS 80D for $899.00. This is the lowest body-only grey market price we have seen, and it is $300 less than the regular authorized dealer price.
Elec.Valley via eBay is a reputable unauthorized dealer. This is a grey market / import body for which a Canon warranty is not guaranteed. Canon USA has historically honored the warranty, but this is at their discretion.
Please keep in mind that over half Electronic Valleys reviews are private and several accounts have posted multiple positive reviews on the same day. The reality is Electronic Valley should have a much lower score than 99.6%
Buyer: o***a left 5 reviews on the same day. Buyer: w***n left 4 review all on the same day. As you scroll down their positive review you see this happening again and again.
I’m not saying don’t shop with them, just saying buyer beware. Call them up first and ask them any questions you have. If you cant get them on the phone now, what makes you think you will get them on the phone when there is an issue?
I bought a 600ex from them last year and had similar concerns. I called them up and everything went extremely smooth, as smooth as shopping in BH. Probably it’s only for my case.
