Warning to those who are purchasing from AllNewShop / GetItDigital! Several readers have already received their EOS 5D Mark III ($2149) and EOS-1D X ($4199) from AllNewShop via eBay‘s on-going sale. They have excellent prices (the lowest we’ve seen), and readers report receiving brand new items as advertised. The catch is: although the auction (as advertised) is for a grey market / import body, readers report that the store will call and attempt an up-sell to the Canon USA model (claiming that the grey market body is inferior). Do not fall for this. The grey market version is physically identical to the Canon USA version, and is not a different product. Stick to your guns, politely remind the retailer that as per the eBay agreement, they are obligated to sell you this camera body at this price. They will (eventually) process your order at the agreed price, and our readers report that they are shipping Canon USA models with Canon USA warranty cards anyway — win! As they do eventually process the order, and ship a brand new camera at a fantastic price, this is just an up-sell (not a bait-and-switch). We still think it’s a great deal, but want to warn our readers to expect the call and stay firm during the up-sell. The deals are still live now. 5D Mark III: bit.ly/1iBFxvK 1D X: bit.ly/1pREZmQ Thanks Chris & Toni for the reader reports. canonpricewatch/blog/2015/01/small-warning-about-allnewshops-ebay-deals-5d-mark-iii-1d-x/
