Buying a "Grey import" camera...

[Wacky Racer]

I think I know how this thread is going to go before I even have any replies but:-

Following on from Mrs WR's thread about buying a new camera she has more or less decided on a new Sony A6300.

However, after doing a few quick searches she has come across this offer:-

https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/s0ny-alpha-a6300-...

Now I explained to her that in my opinion I would not go down this route, it would obviously be a "grey import" with no official Sony warranty, maybe not to UK spec, and it would be better to pay another £150 and get it from a "proper" UK business such as Jessops, Argos or John Lewis with proper back up in case of problems.

Just my 2p, what do you think?

Also, have you any recommendations as to where to purchase it from, price naturally is obviously an important consideration.

Thank you in anticipation,

Wacky.

From reading the reviews on this exact company myself before taking the plunge and ordering I know I'm in the minority, but I had an awful experience.

Sorry, your post does not make clear which company you are referring to.

£779 on Amazon prime day plus I think £150 cashback is also available.

Cheers Bazza.

Mrs WR has just ordered a Sony ILCE6300LB with SELP1650 power zoom lens (24.2MP,APS-C Image sensor), should be £1028.69 for £779.00 plus £150 Sony cashback on Amazon prime for TODAY only.

Be quick, I THINK they only have ONE left now.
