Hi there,
I am about to buy a D700... I live in canada, Quebec, where taxes are pretty high even if photographers just can't earn a living
D700 is 3,300 CAD +15% taxes : 3795 $, almost 4,000 CAD for the body only (3,680 USD) ...
as the price is too high in my opinion, I am thinking to buy an import model on ebay and I can save 1200 $ including shipping and insurance, but Is it ok to buy a model from Japan when you live in north america ?
They say they have a 3 years warranty in their store so I can send the cam back in case of a problem.
Can I trust them, even if they have a 99.5% positive feedback on ebay ?
I own a D200 and didn't have any problem for 3 years, the camera is still in perfect conditions...So no needs for repair, but who knows.
I am trying to save money but I don't want to be stucked in a bad situation, any advice from you will be considered!
thanks
