sActually, Cliff, the state of New York passed a law that make it illegal to sell a camera without everything that comes in the box with the camera. I know that because a friend asked B&H to remove the lithium battery so the D800 could be shipped to Italy, a requirement then in place for security reasons I'm guessing. B&H quoted the NY law and said they couldn't remove it, so the camera was shipped to me so I could remove it and pass the camera along to my cyber friend. I think the days of the wild west in Brooklyn are at least partially gone. I know Abe's is still pressuring folks to buy accessories and upgrades. And there was nothing on their site about warranty service. They do acknowledge, however, that import items do not carry a warranty. At least they're being honest about that...
If one is prepared to forego the warranty there are quite a few sources for import cameras through E-Bay. Interestingly, B&H will sell imported lenses but NOT cameras...
Is Abe's of Maine an Authorized Dealer for the products it sells?
For products that Abe's of Maine is an authorized dealer, it is clearly noted on the particular product's page. If we are not an authorized dealer for a product, the manufacturer may choose to not honor its warranty on the product. However, we do offer you the option to buy an extended warranty to protect your investment, which, in most if not all cases, covers a time period longer than most manufacturer's warranties.
