Can anyone elucidate why a quick online search for a new camera, say a 5d iv, results in such varying prices? Some online shops are circa £800 cheaper than others. What's the catch here?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Te cheaper ones are probably "grey imports" which won't have Canon's guarantee but some sort of warrantee by the company selling them. Lots, such as Panamoz, have a very good reputation for their after sales care but with some you are taking a gamble.

Perhaps they are body only and don't include any lenses?

If they are from outside EU, price may not include VAT and import duties.

Not sure which shops you're comparing but, asabove, most likely grey imports.

Thanks guys for the rapid responses, I hadn't considered the absence of a manufacturers warranty. So does anyone have any direct experience with Panamoz then?
