I realize this is straying from Willem-Jan Markerink's original question, but...
I own a Canon 1D, originally purchased from a seller in China with no USA warranty. Unfortunately, it had some exposure and flash communication problems and had to be sent to Canon for repairs while still under warranty. When I contacted the original seller about the problems, he told me that the camera would need to be returned to Canon in Japan to be fixed. Before attempting to return the Camera to the Chinese seller and on to Japan for fixes, I called Canon USA about it. The Canon USA representative explained to me was that certain high-end Canon equipment (not all Canon equipment) carries an international warranty that should be honored, as implied in the wording, internationally. Thus, the in-warranty repairs were honored (at no charge) via Canon USA because of what Canon USA referred to as the 1D international warranty. I'd have to assume that with something like the 1D, it wouldn't matter where you were in the world, as long as there was a Canon factory-level service center available (and in-warranty fixes were needed) that the service center in question would honor the international warranty. Again, this is according to what the Canon USA service center representative told me and how my 1D in-warranty repairs were handled by them. (Again, with no specific USA warranty on this camera when purchased).
