ButterLicious, oh. so i am guessing you held it in like best buy or something too then? It was probably best that you sent it back. just buy it from adorama or B&H, they are both trust worthy and have really good prices. Grey market is so ghey. Thailand pooped on your

ButterLicious, they do it to sell them cheaper and these grey market companies make a ton of money off those cheaper cameras. its dumb and should be illegal. Or they should give you a fair warning,

COMPLETE nonsense. The only difference with gray market camera gear and USA gear is where it's going to be sold. It's the same exact gear. It's only gray market here, the rest of the world is being sold "gray market". The only downside is manufacture warranty, but if you buy form a reputable dealer you will get a warranty through them.

+1 B&H is the best online retailer IMO. Buying locally will have its advantages, but there is nothing wrong with places like B&H. In fact they probably have the worlds largest brick and morter store |

Well I thought I'd link it here. It did come with two memory cards and a backpack so I thought it might be of interest. It looks like it's in pretty good shape and you could always ask for more pics just to make sure it wasn't dropped or whatever. But yeah...no 55-200mm kinda was a buzzkill when I saw it, too. He really should have removed that lens from the pic...
