I'll be soon in HK. I've read in a user comment related to the 40D that he bought his 40D in HK for 8800HK$ which is a very good price compared to what we can find here in Europe.Can anyone tell me where I can find such deals in HK? Won't it be grey market products? Will I get an International Guaranty or will it be restricted to Greater China (PRC, Taiwan, HK)?Thank you for your replies!

You won't have a warranty when you get back to Europe.DietmarBen Caplanwrote:I'll be soon in HK.

http://www.ygdragon.net/index.php?page=photo/cameraprice.htmYou may want to take a look at the link above. I do believe you get "international" warranty but I think by that, you may have to ship the camera back to Asia for warranty service. Guy

Thank you guys for this valuable information.I'm quite new in this forum, and realize that in several cases we may get an "imperfect" lense (e.g., bad autofocus) or an imperfectly calibrated camera.What's the risk of buying in Hong Kong if I live in France?Ben

If you do visit Hong Kong and want to buy a nwe camera here, you can read my article of recommended camera shops:-http://rolandlim.wordpress.com/2007/08/26/recommended-camera-shops-in-hong-kong/Roland -- http://rolandlim.wordpress.com

The body is international warranty (not sure where you have to send in for repair though)BUT...the Lens is HK warranty only. So if you are going to buy here...and go home to another country.....you should buy body only and call it a day.
