USA warranty honored in other countries?

Answer ID 9677 | Published 04/07/2004 12:28 PM | Updated 02/15/2011 11:07 AM

Is the Nikon USA warranty valid outside the United States?

The Nikon USA warranty on film cameras, lenses, and speedlights will be honored by Nikon-authorized service centers outside the United States as long as you have the yellow copy of the Nikon USA warranty and your sales receipt from a dealer in the USA. The key to the validity of the warranty is a sales receipt from the country in which you purchased the equipment. If you purchase equipment in another country where the Nikon Worldwide Warranty applies, copies of the sales receipt and this warranty are necessary to obtain warranty service in the USA. Buying the equipment with a Nikon Worldwide Warranty in the United States is not recommended because that warranty is not valid in the USA without a sales receipt from an overseas dealer, and it is not valid outside the USA with a sales receipt from a dealer in the USA.

Note that USA products usually include have blank warranty cards with the camera company's USA addresses on them. Gray Nikon cameras and lenses used to come with international warranty papers, and lately the stores selling gray are just pulling all the warranty documents out of the boxes.

In other words, be careful, and know your dealer.

Hi
I would say 50mm for portrait lens...why...if u buy FX version for DX camera, it is close to 70mm which is considered by most to be a great portrait focal length, as it is very close to what the human eye sees, i.e.: no real distortion, a good working distance from model...
I own 105mm VR 2.8 and shooting portraits as a prime lens is tack sharp always, but i need to get back from model too far... and if you can afford the f/1.4, the more expensive the sharper and more durable it will be...and you can have an awesome macro lens as well if you choose that version...

As for flash, if you can afford the 910, I would buy it... why, because it will do more than any other lens and will last a lifetime, you can use it on this camera and many to come in the future...the new flashes are incredibly versatile...if you cant afford that model, then the SB700 is great as well, would do all you want for now I believe...

Hope this helps

Sounds like you may have a problem, the shutter release should never stick half way, no matter what mode you shoot in...

A good wide angle ... I won the 17-35mm 2.8... I know the 17-55mm 2.8 is considered a top lens...
If you want a prime lens think of 35mm maybe...
I dont know what your kit lens was, size wise...You need to consider what it is, use it in situations of all types you will encounter and then take a look at your needs ...
For me the 17-35mm has been perfect, I shoot drag races, portraits, events, landscape, nature all of it, and i consider my wide angle to be 17- 35mm, which is not really accurate as i have an older D2X that is DX sensor size not FX, therefore my 17 is really around a 25mm or so...
These lenses i mention are expensive pro grade lenses... I believe others can tell you what non pro lenses are like and if quality n what not is good...I mean from Nikon you will always have quality, its just what you spend is what you get...
Hope i help some...
