There has been a recent thread discussing this topic, and it has come up a few times in the past. The general consences have been that there should not be any issues with getting them repaired, there's some speculation that gray market products may get sent back to Japan to be repaired, although I don't recall this actually happen to anyone on this list. It also "appears" that Canon doesn't seem to care too much about where the item is purchased, as long as you have proof of purchase (for date information purpose), you would even get the warranty honoured. This makes sense as I would be royally ticked off if a piece of equipment fails when I am out of the country where the equipment is purchased from, and the local Canon repair facility refuse to repair the item until I am back to the country? Canon is better than Nikon in this aspect apparently.
