    I can think of a couple of reasons why digital camera prices might be cheaper on some sites than others. Sometimes online or catalog stores get cameras at discount rates if they buy refurbished or Grey market models. If the cameras are refurbished, there is no telling what had been the reason they had been returned. If they are Grey market… and these are the models you want to stay away from… they have been imported from another country and do not carry a USA warranty. Should something go wrong with them… you have no protection. And a camera without USA warranty will be refused by the manufacturers repair facility, meaning you can never get an upgrade or have it cleaned or anything. If there is a camera you are interested in… don’t just order. Find the phone number and call so that you can ask… if the camera is refurbished or do it have a USA warranty. Don’t just buy it now and be surprised and disappointed later. Hope that was helpful. :) )
