What Is a Gray Market Camera?
I don't understand the difference between a gray market camera and a regular camera. Could you explain?

A gray market camera is a camera that is imported and not originally made for the USA. Essentially the cameras are identical - it's the warranty that needs some investigation. If you have a gray market camera and have a problem, getting it serviced may be tricky or cost more.

More on the warranty issue - gray market items usually are only covered by the seller for a short period, while regular items will be warranted by the manufacturer.

One more point: The owner's manual may be in a foreign language

In India,gray market stands that cameras or any eqiptments purchased not from authorised shop is called gray market purches.If you purches any camera in grey market you will get the camera cheaper then the original shop due to non paying of any import duty and other overheads.But same time you will not recive any warranty from the manufacturer or seller.Once the purchese is over entire responcebility will be buyers.

Thanks everyone for the answer. I bought a gray market camera one time not knowing what it was. I guess I better hope nothing goes wrong with it.

can you purchase an extended warranty through other companies ... to warranty the grey market camera? (IE) MACK Warranties?
