Hello there,
I was wondering if someone would please let me know the answer to the below question:

- How does an "import model" differ from an "American model" in terms of the Sony Cybershot DSC-T100?

I made the rookie mistake of not checking all of the fine print on an online order I made this past Friday, April 13, (from Broadway Photo) and I now see that an "import model" is being sent to me. I'm not happy about this fact, but I cannot say that I am being "scammed," per se.

Being that I plan on having this camera for years to come, is it in my best interest to return the "import model" (losing the "restocking fee") and get an "American model" from an authorized USA dealer (I live in Illinois)? I have no way of knowing what I am not receiving with my "import model" order. For all I know, the user guide and all of the menus on the camera will be in a different language. I cannot believe they hid the "import model" status as the last item under a hidden "Included Accessories" page.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much in advance!
