A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, only a 1-year store warranty is included. Historically Canon USA has honored the warranty on grey market items, but that is completely at their discretion.

There are two important ones. One is <b>return policy<\/b> &#8212; unless the item is defective, there really isn&#8217;t one. The store <i>will<\/i> charge a hefty restock fee if you&#8217;re returning it. Once you&#8217;ve paid, even if the item hasn&#8217;t shipped, it&#8217;s difficult to cancel your order without invoking the return + restock. Please be sure you want this before paying. Second, is <b>after-sales service<\/b>. The vast majority of readers (probably 98%, 99%) haven&#8217;t experienced problems, but the 1-2% that do, it may take some patience to get your issue resolved (be it shipping damage, defective items, missing accessories, etc.) This isn&#8217;t a big operation (like most authorized dealers are) with the resources invested in customer service, this is why the price is so low!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unexpected: a substantial price drop on the EOS 5D Mark IV in the grey market.
