Nikon U.S. is too great for anyone to understand. Just don't buy any
Nikon equipment while traveling outside the U.S. and expect to get any
support from Nikon U.S., even non-warranty service at your own expense.

that's false.

if you buy a nikon product in a country where it was officially
imported, nikon will repair it, either under warranty or out of
warranty. you will need proof (ideally a receipt with a serial number)
to show that it is not grey market goods.

if you buy something in a country where it was *not* officially
imported, i.e., grey market, then all bets are off. nikon will
probably not repair it (although there are numerous reports that they
may turn a blind eye), but no guarantees. you've circumvented the
official channels and are on your own.

So what if I live in country A , buy officially imported Nikon equipment
and then 6-9 months later move to live in country B.

Will Nikon in Country B support the equipment I bought though the
official country A channels whilst resident in country A?

without knowing if those organizations have the same policies, your
question is unanswerable.

Then why answer?

To stop readers from jumping to unwarranted conclusions.

If instead of tony posting, some smart-arse had claimed that any
Nikon warranty applied worldwide there's quite possibly someone who
might take that at face value. And then when he realised it
was wrong he may come to believe that UseNet was a total waste
of time.

....

Leave it to those with a little more experience of the world.

....

So how many posters on this NewsGroup are likely to be familiar
with the warranty conditions as apply to Nikon equipment in say
more than five different countries, never mind Worldwide ?

You must be confident that there are quite a few, as otherwise
you wouldn't be suggesting that readers wait for them to post,
would you ?
