What does this mean for me?
The terms "grey market" and "parallel import" have the same meaning.
Some of the cameras and camcorders listed on the site are parallel imports. All Televisions, Appliances and all other items listed on this website comes with a USA Factory Warranty. Most of the products that we sell come with a warranty from the manufacturer or from the manufacturer's licensed importer. However, some of the products we sell have been obtained from sources other than the manufacturer or its licensed importer. These are called "grey market" products.
"Grey market" is not illegal, nor factory refurbished, nor open box merchandise, nor cheaper or inferior to their USA counterparts. In fact, a "grey market" product is absolutely identical to its USA counterpart, except for the fact that it does not come with a manufacturer warranty and cannot receive manufacturer rebates. "Grey market" and USA products are manufactured in the same factories from the same components, to the same specs, by the same workers in the same manufacturer plants. In terms of the item itself (excepting PAL, which is made to work outside of the US) there is no difference at all.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
There is no real need for concern when discussing "Grey Market" or imported product. The camera comes in English language with the same menu options and all of the same accessories from the manufacturer. The main difference is the item’s warranty coverage, but we will supply the customer with a 3rd Party warranty that will cover the same terms as the manufacturer in the USA. The products themselves are otherwise identical. "Grey Market" items cost less than their USA counterparts, and that is why we are able to give a considerable discount on those such items. "Grey market" products do not qualify for manufacturer's rebates.
Why offer "Parallel Import"?
Parallel Import, or grey market items often cost less than comparable USA models. Due to the weak conversion rate of the US Dollar, some items cost much less to purchase outside of the United States. There are also items we sell that are not otherwise available in the USA through normal distribution channels.
PAL (Phase Alternate Line) Video Equipment
Video equipment sold in the US, Canada, Mexico and Japan is designed to record and playback video images at 525 lines-per-frame @ 60 frames-per-second. This is commonly known as an NTSC format (National Television Standards Committee).
We also sell video equipment that is set to record and playback video using the European broadcast standard (PAL) of 625 lines-per-frame @ 50 frames-per-second.
PAL and NTSC are not interchangeable recording formats. If you are planning on using your video equipment in the United States, you must purchase an NTSC model.
