Looking at the fine print, these are not sold by Walmart, but sold and shipped by third-party businesses.

Yes. Walmart.com is a lot like Amazon.com in that it is just a shell that allows 3rd party vendors to sell their goods there. Walmart happens to be one of the vendors, but there are many others selling on their too (in this case it looks like a company called Tri State Camera).

Make sure to get reviews of the 3rd party before ordering.. if you're spending 800 dollars you owe that much to yourself to know where your money is going.

Yep, sold by Tri-State Camera. Tri-State is known for not disclosing gray market items, so confirm that the item has U.S. warranty before ordering.
