Imported Canon 7D Mark II body only for $1200

If you are comfortable with imported (grey market, NO Canon USA warranty) DSLRs, a new offer among the eBay Deals is offering the new condition imported / grey-market Canon 7D II body only for $1200 with free shipping with a limit of five per buyer. The seller is GetItDigital (99.6%) and offers their own one year warranty. It does not come with a Canon USA warranty. This is an imported model. So far over 300 units got sold from this listing.

The new condition price from authorized Canon USA dealers is $1700 with some free accessories and rewards at Adorama and B&H Photo. A difference of $500 is certainly not a small amount, but there are pros and cons to getting an imported camera, and ultimately that is a personal decision one must needs make based on their individual circumstances.
