I think this 'support' thing is a red herring. It is an excuse to charge more money for the same item, and claim something is different. I doubt the extra US warranty they give really costs them that much more. How many people have had warranty claims? I've got 6 pieces of Leica gear, some bought new (gray) and some bought used. It gets used quite a bit. I've not had one problem with any of these items. How come no other country gets "abused", price wise, like the US does for camera goods? I agree with what Frank said, I hate weaseling, and that is what camera companies are doing here in the US, IMO.
