I see most of you bought lenses and accessories from them. What about camera bodies? Anyone bought from them before?

Yeah I did. It comes with just the default stuff. No 7D guides or free 8GB CF cards and Bag. This is only for those do doesnt need these things.
For me, those freebies that other shops are giving aren't much of a use to me. I got myself a 32GB 400x Transcend and used my previous camera bag. So in a sense, I saved money on those unnecessary stuff. =)))

after the 1 year period, you are in the same situation as anyone who buys a lens/camer/etc. with local warranty... i.e. you send it to the principal to service (if it is a Nikon lens, then send it to NSC) and you will be charged.

I think cheesy was saying what happens within the 1 year warranty period not after the period.
I dont think so.. they always say like that to make them looks better.. from what i know, most grey imports does this
item spoil, they will sent it back to where the item is being sourced from (as warranty is valid from there) , wait for few weeks for item to be repaired and sent back.. and u get it back
they always say their own technician.. its true for small repairs.. but never for anything that requires the pros in the lab to fix
thats what happen to my laptop in HK last time.. pretty OK as sometimes they use DHL which is pretty fast.. maybe need 3-4 more days as compared to u hving it serviced locally.
that would be good right? since they will be covering the cost?
their own technician? hmm.. :think:
as far as i know, this is how it works:
when u buy a lens (say canon) with international warranty... u will hv to proof to canon spore that you bought it from the proper channel in another country.. so u show them 1) warranty card of country ABC , 2) the invoice of the shop you bought from country ABC
This is to avoid shops like DD buying in bulk from a country that sells an item cheaper and flood it over to another country.
but when DD bring the faulty item back to country ABC they can claim warranty as they hv warranty card and invoice from there...
As was told, for the first 30 days they are able to send back to their supplier. So consumer are allow to do one to one exchange for defect.
There are few ways that parallel importer can do. It might not be the same as for your laptop.
As I know of are below,
Example local agent sell Japan item A for $1000 with 5 years warranty.
Parallel importer choose to,
1) Buy direct from Japan without warranty for $500.
2) Buy direct from Japan with 30 days warranty for $600.
The parallel importer will bear the warranty themselves after.
Is not suprise if they mention " own technician".
1) Employ own technician
2) Outsource to repair workshop in local
My humble 2 cents.
how about Nikkor lens? if its under local warranty, it should come with international warranty as well isnt it? :dunno:

For product that is very fragile.. normally they sent it back to country of origin.. item such as Camcorders, digital camera, lens, .. plus also depends on nature of the problem. If its a cover not working well they will repair it with their own or contracted technician
for DD, they might even bring it to Canon/nikon/etc Singapore to repair and foot the bill if its not costing a lot.
however as the consumer, u hv no say on which way / method they use to repair the item.
