Online Camera Store Dude: This only has a 30-day in-store warranty. Would you like to upgrade to the model that has a 1-yr. manufacturer's warranty?
Me: WTF? Is it used? Why doesn't it have a manufacturer's warranty?
Dude: It's a European Market unit, the American one is $349.
Me: Fuck that, I'm not buying a camera that was heisted from a truck in Belarus.


So I just bought it at Ritz for $400. The internets suck.

Faggot!

F'real tho, when I was in Okinawa, I bought a Jap-Market (JDM? hahahaha) Samsung boombox and it was a total piece of crap. I had to return the first one because it didn't work at all, and the second one still sucked. This was in Japan, too...how ironic.

Gray market is a term that manufacturers invented in order to charge americanos more for the same gear. The smart manufacturers make the use in other countries impossible (or hard for the laymem).
