Re: Gray or USA?
When I bought my Canon EOS 50e I got a gray market model because
it was a significant cost savings, and had features the U.S. model
didn't. The prices on the Canon EOS 20D were comparable so I got a
USA model.
Canon is good about honoring warranties worldwide. Other manufacturers
aren't.

Hi All
What do you guys buy, gray or USA? Obviously this is a question for
Americans but I wish to know what is the plus and minus of buying gray
market cameras and lenses? I know the warranty is less on gray, but how
much of a warranty do you need on a lens? Or do the modern auto focus
lens need their share of service? What say you all?
