This deal is likely for a grey market product and a Canon warranty isn’t guaranteed, but in our experience, you should be covered.

Canon, as far as I know, will only service products in their countries of origin. Retailers will also provide warranties. But these warrenties are less valuable than a Canon warrenty. I like discounts, but I do not want to wager the money I spent on a camera by trusting too much retail service shops and global shipping companies.

Yep. All the top eBay gray market sellers have their own site, and directly from them, they charge up to 10% less since they don't have to pay eBay fees. And yes, I've ordered big ticket items from them (E-infinity, buybuybox, t-dimension, etc). If you're worried about how legit, many of them accept PayPal which gives buyer protection.

So I sent a list of questions to the E-infinity store through their own website. The deal you get with the cheap cost for the EOS R:

• The charger is for HK outlets. They send an adapter for the charger to be plugged onto US outlets.
• There's no canon warranty at all, even in HK. They provide their own warranty: "They come with our 12 months warranty and you can have them returned back to our office for service in case there is a problem. However these guarantees are not official and they are being performed by our in house repair agent. "
• If you don't need the EF-RF adapter, then you can buy the EOS R for $1729: https://www.e-infin.com/ww/item/3696/canon_eos_r_mirrorless_digital_camera_(body_only)
• It includes the same content in the box even though they're missing 2 items on their list: "We can confirm the cable protector as well as the R-F-5 camera cover will also be included."

So it's a pretty good deal. But again... it's like buying the camera with no warranty.
