I'm reading about these grey market hvx200 cameras from B&H. My order came in today and everything looks brand new to me. Sealed, however the reg sticker is on the plastic bag and not the camera. I registered it at Panasonic's website. No "invalid reg number" return. I buy a lot of items from B&H, what are some signs that it could be a grey market product?
 
If you registered it on the website there's no gray market issue, you got an authorized US unit.

Was there ever a question about HVXs from B&H? I thought the issue was strictly limited to some DVX stock that they bought off of another dealer.

Just reading posts made in the HVX thread about grey market cameras, really ripping B&H.

I am happy to note that as far as I know everyone who mentioned a problem in that thread has had his or her problem addressed and resolved.
 
I ordered my HVX200 from B&H on 9/1. Received a brand new U.S. (TC in the serial number) unit. Everything was as advertised. Then I read about the grey market stuff - had me running back to check the camera. Apparently B&H got stuck with some grey product and is making good. Hard to know what the true story is, but Panasonic accepted my registration. B&H was recommended to me by several Austin area pros, and I got what I ordered.
