Differences in Nikon Digital SLRs? |
I was woundering if anyone knows why a nikon camera on ebay from europe is soo much cheaper and if theres any differences? Is there any problems buying them from thier other than higher shipping rate? Grey imports are cheaper BECAUSE they don't honor the warrantee. No warrantee = reduced price. It's the same for Canon and all the other brands. And it works the other way around here in Europe. In Europe, a European version is more expensive than a US import BECAUSE they don't honor the warrantee on the import. There is no difference in the manufacturing process or quality control. (I can vividly remember the stink regarding Nikon's D200 banding issues in the USA... I use a D200 myself) Nikon cameras that are sold in USA have tighter specifications during manufacturing (thus the increased cost). Nikon USA will NOT HONOR warrenties from a European product, they will not even touch it for repair. They know by serial number if it's a "gray" market camera. The other important thing to keep in mind is that you're thinking about buying a Nikon instead of a Canon. When it comes to the dSLR's it's all about the lenses and you simply can't do better than Canon L's. while they are consider grey imports so defiantely if they want to hav a share in the market...they would hav to lower down their price to entice ppl to buy right...the bad part of it..is tat they would nt hav local warrety which would be impt...if u want to repair ur stuff at the service centre... |
