Robert, this in general happens even here and it is does not happen because of the manufacturer's involvement at all, it is strictly up to the vendor to do this. In general it is the unauthorized vendor that does this so that he/she can bring their offering/advertised price in below the authorized vendor who, in general respects the wishes of the manufacturer who wants the product sold just as we package it here, all accessories as shown on the brochure included. > Also, most (not all) of the models you'll see for sale are > Japanese models with corresponding Japanese manuals. (Panasonic's 24p DX 100, I have > noticed, seems to be offered in the English model only. Tim?) Ha, there are dealers here in the US that offer the DVX for under ,000 that have Japanese only buttons and menus and they have copied the English manual off of our website and made a copy from that and only once the customer has it and realizes the situation it is too late. They now own a product that has a Japanese warranty from the manufacturer, a US warranty from that dealer and the dealer sends it back to Japan for warranty work. It is a very crazy business. One should make a practice out of working within the distribution that a manufacturer has set up for their products. There generally is a reason behind it.
