That seems a good price for both, where do you order it from?

No, not according to them, heres a response i got from an email this morningHDEW, are they grey imports?
All of the products we sell are UK specification ( i.e UK plugs and manuals.)
You will get a three year warranty which covers you for mechanical faults, breakdown, parts and labour and this will be repaired in the UK through a Nikon Repair agent. The full three years of the warranty will be with us as your retailer as opposed to being with nikon.
Therefore it is not a 'Grey Import' as it comes with a warranty valid in the UK and is sold to UK specification.

However, there is definitely some crap on the sensor which is showing up at F4. Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Nikon asap to get it cleaned
It's not top left of the sensor by any chance, Internet is rife with this dust problem at the moment with regards the D600
So does every other DSLR ever producedThe Nikon D600 Has Sensor Dust Issues

faddius said:Interesting read, particularly about the potential gap. Focus issues with the d800 and now this with the d600, sure it may be a load of Internet hype being driven by people prone to hissy fits, but were there any complaints about canons new offerings like the 5d mk3? I don't remember seeing any, at least none with the same hype as the Nikon issues.
If you buy one now, you can always send it in for the fix to be applied, which some/all of the current owners like myself may end up doing, which is not an issue.
I don't get this at all!
If I buy a brand new camera I don't expect that the first thing I will have to do is send it back for repair ... such an item is 'unfit for purpose'!

Yeah your right there is a big difference between a uk specification item and a uk market one.
I confirmed the warranty statue today and HDEW confirmed that any warranty work required will be carried out by Nikon themselves, Fixation, Lehmanns or AJ johnstones all of who are Nikon official authorised service and repair centres.Very true, some sellers are wording their adverts very carefully, Shipped from the UK and UK spec basically means it's an import and will carry no Nikon warranty. not really a massive problem if they supply an aftermarket warranty with a reputable repairer though.

The Grip warranty is direct with Nikon for the first 2 years
Ive purchased cameras for £3000 used with no warranty so im more than happy to get something a few hundred quid cheaper and get 3 years warranty into the bargain, if youre not then so be it, my money, my choice.
Hmmm, dont really see any issues or any differences, Its a Nikon camera, if it breaks Nikon fix it or an official Nikon repair centre, no different if you had bought the camera from WEX or Jessops other than HDEW book the camera in for repair and not me, officially everyones warranty is with the retailler who sold you the camera.So that just confirms what I said, No Nikon warranty but no problem as any work will be by a reputable repairer.
Correct, im used to having a D3S with 400mm f/2.8 on a monopod as a first body then a gripped D700 or D3S with a 70-200mm f/2.8 plus a 1.4x extender for my second body which is handheld, the D600 even with a grip with the 70-200mm just didnt feel right, was better with my Tamron 28-75mm as thats a really light lens but felt very akward with the much heavier 16-35mm f/4 VRPersonally I think a camera can be too small/light, for me the D3S fits nicely, feels solid and helps me keep a steady hand.
