Grey market cameras are a part of the business you have to watch out for. Many of the products you buy at super cut prices will have no valid warrantee on them in the US. A real risk.
Some camera stores also "strip" the product down. Often the price you see is for the body only, without minor needed things like batteries, chargers, LENS(!), and anything else that they could pull out or off of the camera. When the XL-1s was a big deal about 2 - 3 years ago, there were places that would price the body only without anything, and by the time you had bought everything that was suppose to come with the camera to start with, the price was 50% HIGHER than B&H.
If you are going to spend that type of money on a camera, spend the last few dollars and buy it from somewhere with a reputation, that is a real certified dealer for the product you are buying.
