It looks like it is a "gray market" camera as under the specs they list it as a imported model. Here is a guide you might want to check out about gray market cameras.
Most likely you can't get any USA warranty service, power adapters could be different, might be in a different language etc.
From Stopandshop digital about their imported models
"The products are usually identical, since they are all manufactured in the same factory, The main differences are in the product prices and in the type of warranty covering each item. You can usually save money by choosing an imported item instead of a USA product. Some products may have foreign language and settings that cannot be changed, be sure to ask your rep if this applies to your product.
USA items are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty that lets you obtain service at a manufacturer-authorized center during the warranty period.
These differences come about because the USA products come to us through the manufacturer’s USA-authorized distributors, while the imported products come to us through alternate sources. We offer imported products to you because in addition to saving you money, for some hard-to-get products, this may be the only way to obtain inventory for our customers."
