The owner gave me his assurances that <b>all the bodies<\/b> sold in this deal were brand new Canon USA models and were fully eligible for the Canon USA warranty. Most boxes will have the Canon USA warranty card, however, as we explain in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canonpricewatch.com\/blog\/authorized-unauthorized-dealers-and-grey-market-explained\/\">our article<\/a>, some may have been removed by the original authorized dealer. As we note in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canonpricewatch.com\/blog\/authorized-unauthorized-dealers-and-grey-market-explained\/\">our article<\/a> you don&#8217;t need the warranty card for service (just the receipt) but the warranty card is often a good proof of Canon USA status.<\/p>\n<p>I am quite satisfied by his explanation, and the initial reports from readers who have received US models mostly with USA warranty cards corroborates his explanation. Any customer who is not satisfied is welcome to contact the store, or you can contact me and I can help relay the message. He also notes the store will back the Canon USA warranty should there be any issues &#8212; but we&#8217;re always here for you if you need us.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canonpricewatch.com\/go\/BestStopDeals-via-eBay\/EOS-6D-with-24-105-Kit\/p=4043&#038;m=103&#038;g=1\">still live<\/a> for one more day.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 2:<\/b> See reader comments on this blog post for pictures &#038; reports of receiving Japanese model bodies with no warranty cards (just copies of US warranty term cards that DO NOT BELONG in Japanese model boxes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple days ago we posted a EOS 6D + 24-105mm deal for $1899 at unauthorized dealer &#8220;BestStopDeals&#8221; via eBay.
