Canon is fully aware that these places exist --- Canon can only enforce their prices with their "Authorized Dealers" ---- Again I refer you back to the concept of a free market --- Granted -- A little chancy but just the same -- "A Free - buyer beware - Market"

That's a topic that has been discussed a few millions times on UHH. Bottom line: Run Forrest, run!!

If for example a canon rep on his/her way to a camera store overhears 2 people talking about a deal in front of the store this particular store gave one of them, a deal that is not authorized by canon, what do you think will happen? Or are you saying that a non authorized dealer is able to purchase USA models from either canon or from the distribution center? Thank you

It is up to each individual to make their own personal decision in what they purchase and from whom and how much they pay. "To each their own", if they are satisfied, good for them. If they are disgruntled, let them "Learn a lesson" and try something different next time. No particular Company is perfect, sometimes issues arise, we are not happy and we complain, if they are reputable, they will attempt to work with us, if they are not, hope we learned a lesson. This is just one person's opinion.

Talk to any pro, they buy from B&H or Adorama if they are on the east coast.

"Seem" is the word. If you order one, they will take your money, and you will wait. Or, it could be gray market. Or, they might sell you one with none of the "accessories," like a battery charger, etc. Be patient and buy from a real store.
