Do I have a problem?

My son ordered a Canon SD700IS from Broadway photo - with an upgraded battery (although not sure what that's about) - it came to 270.

It arrived the next day and it says IXY 800 on the camera not SD700IS. I remember reading here that they change the names on cameras sold in other countries. I'll assume that's ok - and that there is no change in quality. True? However the canon box it came in says - not to be sold outside of Japan - and there is no warranty if it is sold out of Japan.

Do I have a problem? We are going to call when they reopen on Sunday - but I would appreciate any advice re the company and this general situation.
Many Thanks.

According to the SD700 review:

The SD700 is also called the IXUS 800. Don't ask me why....

other than no warranty services from canon in the US, no problem.

The victims have stated the same problem you are facing, a non US model without an English manual and cheap lowlife batteries. Good luck.......
