This may be the case, but a "gray market" item is sold *without* a manufacturer's warranty. A manufacturer will not be held to a warranty offered by a retailer - especially if that retailer is not a distributor of the manufacturer's equipment. Gray market equipment are backed up only by the seller. Fine if they have quality techs, terrible if they don't. Kevin M.
