Hi friends i have one doubt, are these grey market products originally manufactured by canon? or is it a duplicate copy of canon ?
if originally manufactured by canon how are they able to sell in the reduced cost without warranty???
does anyone have an answer for this?

A grey market (sometimes called a parallel import, but this can also mean other things; not to be confused with a black market or a grey economy) is the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which are legal but are unofficial, unauthorised, or unintended by the original manufacturer.

It is Canon and manufactured by Canon. I've heard that Canon sometimes upholds warranties of grey market items, but it's up their discretion and could deny a warranty claim,.
