PadThaiGuy Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) The D300, the D3 and a bunch of new lenses go on sale in November. I inquired at Foto File and they say Thailand will have them several months later, even though they are made in Thailand.

It happened to me here in Bangkok when I bought a Nikon camera and when I wanted to register it on Nikon's website, Nikon informed me that this was a grey market product and they would not allow me to download a manual in a different language. Well, there are other websites where I was able to find the manual, but it's annoying. Nikon even accused me of having an "illegal" camera, which is absolutely not true and legally wrong. They emphasized, however, that the camera I bought had full factory warranty since it was a genuine Nikon product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am abit confused with this as Nikon camera`s are made in Thailand(granted some models)so does this still apply as a "Grey Import"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadThaiGuy Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Havn't seen any Nikon DSLRs on the vendor tables along Sukhumvit yet but would not be suprised if they are copying them as we speak. The worlds most popular DLSR ever, would probably be worth knocking off. They can duplicate a Rolex and have it go thru the delivery channels and retail for 10$. Amazing.

astral Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Copying a DSL, either Nikon or Canon is somewhat more complex than sticking a cheap movement in Rolex look a like case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiAmerican Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) If you worry about a warranty when purchasing grey market cameras Mack Cameras in the US sells worldwide extended warranties that will provide coverage for grey market items. A link to Mack's information page is below. I have seen an email from Mack on another forum stating they will cover grey market purchases from day 1. The person making the inquiry was from Belgium and had purchased his camera from one of the big US grey market importers. That importer apparently provides a Mack Warranty with the purchase which is what prompted the email. http://mackcam.com/servicecontracts/search...t.php?cat_id=29 Edited November 3, 2007 by ChiangMaiAmerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadThaiGuy Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Copying a DSL, either Nikon or Canon is somewhat more complex than sticking a cheap movement in Rolex look a like case. I agree. It would be difficult to copy a DSLR but not impossible. It probably would retail for alot more that $10, more like $500. Chinese R&D = Recieve and Duplicate.

meandwi Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Bought my D200 last year. Love it! I dont see that much of a change in the new model to run out and buy it, but if the wife can't live with out it, then I'll be first in line. I just wish the lenses werent so expensive. The local camera shop told me it will be in stock this weekend, but all are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
