Hello all,
First post, please be kind
I'm trying to make sense of the options to buy a 7d on a more cost efficient way and thought I'd post what I've mined from the forum, would be fantastic if you could point out my mistakes specially if you work at any of the shops, my intention is only to get a good (secure) deal and cut the hassle for anyone else considering a new camera, as I'm finding it not exactly an easy sail. Clearly this is only aimed at those looking for the best price possible in a secure manner and it's work in progress as I thought you guys could chip in to speed up the process 
If someone has already collated all this info in one thread, please accept my apologies and do point me to it.
hope this helps,
beto

warranty: Local Warranty Serviced is only offered at our website, which is DigitalRev.com. Our eBay store is offered with door-to-door warranty, which required customers to send back the item to Hong Kong for manufacture defects. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase through DigitalRev.com with local warranty service offered.
@Daron, to clarify the response from our support team, the warranty covers the manufacture defects; therefore, a quote and confirmation are needed from the repair shop to confirm that the fault is a manufacture defect. This is all covered by us as the reply from our support team - you can fix the item locally and we will refund you. As for the return part, they are referring to the damages not covered in the warranty, which customers can send it back to us for repairing in Hong Kong at their own cost for a cheaper repair cost than in UK.
