It's the first question. The only thing not explicitly stated is whether
or not Canon UK would honour the warranty - I suppose it's conceivable
they'd ask you to return it to Canon USA. However, my reading of that
question is that any Canon branch should cover the camera anywhere -
otherwise what would be the point of stating it like that?

I think they would, since it says:

Q. What is Canon's EOS camera warranty?

A. All models distributed by Canon USA have a 1 year parts & labor
warranty which is valid worldwide


So it looks like I was wrong in thinking warranty would be an issue.

Has anyone bought photographic equipment from B&H etc to use in UK? Price
is
so much cheaper, whats the catch? Is the warranty void?

Being Dutch, I bought my Digital Rebel at www.digitalstreet.nl .
So-called grey-import, but they guarantee warranty by Canon.
Saved me around EUR 400 (compared to streetprice for the 300D in Holland),
and I don't have to order it myself in the US ;-)

Not really. Sigma uses a special body harness to provide
anti-shake. As the camera senses lens movement, it moves
the photographer to compensate.

Tack sharp, eh? You mean like this shot...

That .. could .. be a super wide open apperture focused half way though his
face though ... but it'd want to be at f/1.4 or something.

He should have focused on the eyes. I doubt this was a case of selective
focus. Come on, it's Preddy.

camera bodies that prevent camera shake.


Yes, the secret is that the camera body has a bunch of tiny little
needles all over it that injects botox into the user's hands, thus
minimizing body movement.

This has come up a few times before - Canon UK official policy
is that the FAQ refers _only_ to film SLRs. DSLRs from the US
are not covered in the UK. They have also sometimes said that
the same is true of lenses - other times they say that US
lenses are covered!

Personally, I think they should clarify that FAQ since it is
misleading.
