Got mine today. All is fine.
The battery has slightly different labeling than the US version. The charger also came with a non-Canon power cord, the charger itself is just fine.
The camera came with firmware 2.0.7, isn't 2.0.3 the latest version
Canon still shows 2.0.3 as the latest firmware. The only other posts that refer to 2.0.7 are the rumor mill sites that pounced upon and rebroadcast a forum member's post that the camera he/she received, also a grey market from eBay, shipped with 2.0.7. That original poster could have been you, or someone like you who recently bought the same body from the same vendor. But man, do the rumor sites make front page news about it, so as to be the first to scoop any possible scintilla of a "silent" precursor to a firmware update.
History has shown that isn't how Canon works. When Canon releases a firmware update, they make it quite clear with announcements, letters, notifications, website pages, and links. This has not happened. I would be somewhat concerned about the firmware version your grey market camera is reporting. I would research websites in Asia, for example, to see if you can find any corroboration with Canon of any market.
Last month I took delivery of Canon USA market 1DX that shipped with 2.0.3, for what it's worth.
