What's a digital camera import model difference?


I'm looking at a Nikon Coolpix p60 at amazon.com and you can buy it for 199 by itself or 199 to 224 with different kits (memory card, case, tripod, lens cleaning kit, all kinds of stuff). I think the kits have import models, and I know that an import model dSLR doesn't come with it's battery pack, so anyone know what if anything is the difference in the import kit or the regular camera?

Imported, or grey market, cameras should come with the battery. There are some differences when you buy grey market cameras, mainly:

- No warranty if the warranty is region-specific. If the reseller is nice he might throw a 3rd party plan in for free, or he might be nasty and push you to buy one. If the camera includes an international warranty it's usually kept with the camera.
- Charger may not be compatable with your country's standards
- Default camera language may be set to a different one
- Manuals/CD may be in a different language

The warranty is different .. Nikon and Canon will not repair gray market (imported) cameras ... period.

All the junk you get with these "deals" are bottom tier quality.

Buy the Camera from an authorized dealer and get what every you really need as you need it.

Usually you will never need a lens cleaning kit and you can buy 2 GB SD/SDHC cards for under $11 and as you stated the camera may not come with the Nikon battery and charger. It just isn't worth the few dollars you think you will save.

Call them and ask them if the following comes with their gray market camera: AV/USB Cable UC-E12, Strap AN-CP14, Rechargeable Battery EN-EL11, Battery Charger MH-64, Software Suite for COOLPIX

import will be the same, the software on the camera might be slightly different.
