I live in the UK, but I've been looking on Ebay and the prices are a lot cheaper in the US. Can someone tell me..Is there a difference between products i would buy here in the UK and these 'Canon USA' products?... If so..what?

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,738 posts Likes: 4072 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | May 03, 2008 07:35 | #2 There is no difference in the product itself but on how the warranty is managed. For Canon bodies the warranty work is done in the country the body was intended to be sold at. For lenses it is international. So, if you pick up a body in the states, you'll have to send it back here for service. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

USA Warrenty will work worldwide for glass but not for boddies, also no retailers will take it back to do warrenty service you will have to send to someone else you know. Angus
