If you want to get the Canon 6D in new condition with a Canon USA warranty but pay closer to imported/grey-market prices, there is a compromise, but it involves mail-in rebates and prepaid gift cards.

… For that, you get the Canon 6D body only, the Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer, its trusty sidekick (the 50pk Canon SG-201 13×19 inch photo paper), a Lowepro Adventura shoulder bag, and a 32GB Sandisk microSDHC Extreme card…
