Digital camera Review: $800 down the drain. Nikon does a switcheroo to customers
Summary: 1 Stars
If you buy your Nikon online you may not be able to have it serviced. They may tell you it is 'grey market' and not honor the warranty. I always thought grey market meant that you bought it off the back of someone's truck or in some other sort of illegal way. NOT SO! If you buy your Nikon online, you have no way of knowing where the seller purchased the camera. If they purchased it outside the US (for example, from a Japanese wholesaler with lower prices than in the US which is the case) their profit is greater/camera cost is lower to them. However NIKON will NOT service that camera for you! They call them "Grey market". Nikon obviously makes less money on these cameras and won't service them. My husband paid $799 for my camera and it is money lost.
It gets worse...I sent my "grey market" camera in for repair and not only did they call it grey market, they switched it with another customer's "Sigma" branded cheap product and sent it to me. Can you believe that?? They must not have an investory control system and someone else has my Nikon camera. 6 months into this, I have sent them the serial number, pictures of the box, original receipt, etc. and they keep saying my camera was a different brand (Sigma, which I had never even heard of). I got someone else's ugly, cheap camera sent to me by Nikon and they won't take responsibility for it.
I suggest you take a look at comments about Cannon and how they stand behind their products. Lots of people onlne/blogs, etc. are complaining that Nikon does not.
Be careful when making such a significant investment. This is criminal behavior on Nikon's part. And we thought Wall Street was a problem???
I never got my camera back from Nikon and they won't respond to my repeated requests to have it returned to me! $800 down the drain! If you go online you will see tons of complaints about the Nikon service. Nikon seems to make good products, but does not stand behind them whatsoever.
