EOS-M Warranty

I'm really wanting to purchase an EOS-M for upcoming family trips where I don't want to take my 6D and bag o' lenses. Of course, here in NA, the EOS-M is discontinued, and sites like B&H only carry the "import" option. They're a steal IMO at $311 USD, but what kind of warranty, if any, do one of these import items carry? I just don't want to be out that kind of money should my shiny new camera crap the bed prematurely.

under the Q+A, B&H says the $311 camera/lens kit has the Canon 1 year warranty. The product page does not say import. You can always call B&H to confirm.

I've been looking at this too.

All Canon cameras are imported. You get a one year warranty with the EOS-M even though its discontinued.

Though they are all imported, there are differing ways to import. A US camera will carry a full Canon warranty and a gray market import will carry a retailer warranty, in this case B&H. Same camera but if something goes wrong, it's a different repair process. From B&H I wouldn't worry too much as I've heard nothing but good things about their support but from other less reputable retailers getting support could be tricky.

With B&H you can rest peacefully.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. B&H does not list this as an "import" which means gray market (no US warranty). So the assumption is that this has US warranty and I still recommend a call to B&H to confirm.

The same is available at Adorama (http://www.adorama.com​/ICAMK.html) for $311. According to "What's included" the package has a "kit warranty card".

Newegg also has the camera (but secondary seller) until 9/13 (http://www.newegg.com …aspx?Item=N82E1​6830120632) at $299 and if you scroll down it says a Canon warranty.
