(More customer reviews)Per the above post, I called Nikon on this and they stated that the warranty will still apply if the camera is under Nikon USA warranty coverage (1 year).Go to NikonUSA.com get the support phone # and call them(they are available 24/7).Even if you are not sure if the camera is a Nikon USA model (Nikon WILL NOT TOUCH - EVEN IF YOU PAY THE COST OF REPAIR- any equipment that is not Nikon USA. e.g. Grey Market A.K.A -they did not receive it in their warehouse -Nikon USA- and they do not get a cut/profit from it- NOT BASHING THEM AT ALL...just remember that you are paying for additional after sale service/support when purchasing Nikon USA equipment). They are a great bunch of people and will be happy to answer any questions you may have...just make sure that if you decide to order some product catalogs/literature you keep the limit of catalogs ordered to 3 or less :) For some reason Nikon gets cranky when you request more than three...
This extended warranty only covers repair to be performed at TWO listed Nikon repair facilities (one in NY the other in CA). I have not sent anything in to Nikon to get repaired in years, however I can say that I have sent items to be serviced to these locations in the past and they are excellent. I wish I could say the same from other "Authorized Nikon Repair" facilities. The owner must cover the cost of shipping to the facility (insurance recommended!) and Nikon will cover the cost of shipping the unit back to you.
Keep in mind that this warranty ONLY APPLIES to the original camera purchaser and IT IS NOT TRANSFERABLE!So if you sell the camera the warranty is null and void. THIS IS NOTHING NEW and has been the case with Nikon (and other manufacturers) for as long as I can remember, this also applies to all the Nikon cameras and lenses during the first year of Nikon USA warranty and any additional ESC coverage that was included or purchased separate.
I watched the DVD and for me it has no value, HOWEVER it provides a lot of information for someone that is not familiar with some/all of the equipment (flash, camera options, memory cards, etc.) and how to use them.
You might ask yourself, WHY would Nikon include this "beginner" DVD with a warranty that is tailored for an "advanced" user/camera...I was at a local camera store not long ago and this lady walked in with an SLR camera (film) and a broken lens. She wanted the lens fixed and was informed that the [...] that it would cost to fix the lens would surpass the current cost (used) of the lens. She then asked about some lenses that would work with her camera...none available! To make the long story, shorter...(the long end would explain -based on her questions and conversation- that this person had no clue about photography -camera functions- and is a straight..turn ON... point and shoot person)she was extremely satisfied with the "Auto" settings and the end results on a digital camera she tried in the store, she walked out the door (after paying) with a Nikon D300 and 18-200 VR lens.
I have no use for the bag and truthfully I hate using bags that display what is inside...this yells to everyone out there NIKON CAMERA INSIDE. All that personal preference aside, I did purchase one like this (Nikon branded same style and color) for a family members camera-that is what they wanted as a Christmas gift- and it cost me [...] so the cost of the warranty is MINIMAL if you can use the camera bag and DVD[...].The bag is well made and can take some abuse, the other bag is three years old and still holding up well.
