Exactly what is the warranty situation with gray G camera products?
Some gray G camera products arrive with an international warranty card, some have no warranty card at all. Always ask the terms of the warranty before you purchase a gray G camera product. A warranty is a contract between the seller and the buyer where the sellers responsibilities are spelled out. With an international warranty, Kyocera Corporation promises to repair or replace G camera products for a period of one year from date of purchase that demonstrate a failure in workmanship or materials. If there is no warranty card, you must ask the seller for his warranty terms. One national Contax distributor has no responsibility to honor the warranty issued by a second national Contax distributor. Distributors honor only the warranties where they are the original seller. Among other things, this policy is meant to discourage the purchase of gray G camera products.
