You should ask what ever seller that you are purchasing this from and not post here. I would suggest buying direct from Amazon as you would be less likely to get a counterfeit product.

welp. time to find a local dealer. Nikon being all mysterious with its dealers. Oh well, I'll try to be patient a little while longer.

I totally agree with you!! Amazon should update the shipment date online. I personally feel that it is very deceiving to customers. I ordered the Nikon D50 on June 22. Amazon kept pushing the delievery date for 3 to 4 times. I just cancelled my order of Nikon d50 from Amazon and order it elsewhere.

I find that if I buy only "sold from and ships by Amazon.com" I have no issue with fake stuff. Third party vendors and you never know what you're really getting.

It was Nikon USA Legit. It came as described, slightly delayed but it was my first amazon purchase. I had not complaints.

Has the counterfeit/knockoff issue been resolved? I too received one in this condition but didn't think much of it until I read this and the buttons started losing their luster. Would like to re-order for genuine if the issue has been resolved. Thank you.

There're on order and will be shipped out first come, first served. Since they do not know how many will be ordered before the next shipment is received, they cannot be sure about when buyers will receive them. The only way to speed up the pace is to check around for availability. Most large retailers have them back ordered, and Nikon doesn't have any available to purchase direct, either.

No I ordered this item from "Blowout Stockhouse" and I got a bootleg item. Be wary

It's extremely difficult to tell if you've never held any genuine grip made by Nikon. I knew right away by the weight; counterfeits will be very light, because they are made with cheap plastic, not magnesium alloy. Also, if there's a gap between the grip and the body of the camera, that's a sign it might be a counterfeit. Lastly, and the easiest "give away" would be the front and back shutter/aperture dials on the grip should be made of a rubber and have a grip. If you can move the dial easily, you don't hear clicks, or they don't have a grip on your finger, it's most likely a counterfeit. Hope this helps!

As far as i can tell the one that was delivered to me is a real cannon product. It came in a cannon box and has what appear to be gold plated connectors in the battery magazines. A feature you probably would'nt see in a knock off. I understand you're concern i thought the same thing. I'm very happy with mine. One problem i did find is there is an on/off switch that if left on will run the batteries down even when the camera is shut off. the camera will operate normally while this switch is left off. So i don't know what the switch does.Hope this helps you.

It's very hard to identify what is a "bona fide" Canon battery grip until it gets damage and needs repair. I'm a member of Canon Professional Services (CPS). When my battery grip was broken I sent it for repairs via CPS. It was determine to be a non-canon product after the technicians opened it up. There is no guarantee, however, purchasing from a reputable company is the best you can do. Please remember, although my battery grip was not Canon grade, it work very well and never failed on me.

The battery I bought was shown with Nikon packaging and logos. It appears to be Nikon made and no problems.
