Is the D90 here gray market or with USA warranty? It's not clear from the description on the D90 body only page: is this camera covered by a Nikon USA warranty, or is it gray market?

If the camera serial number begins with a 3, it is a US version with a US warranty. Here's a list of serial numbers and the countries that they designate. I don't know if this list applies to all Nikon cameras but it does for their DSLRs. Amazon has been an authorized Nikon dealer for at least 2 years. I have bought Nikon gear from them for that long and the registration went through just fine.Nikon DSLRsSerial numbers beginning with:2 - Japan3 - USA4 - Europe (excluding UK)5 - Canada6 - Australia / New Zealand(?)7 - Asia (excluding Japan)8 - UKI think 4 & 8 have been combined now for Europe.

I recently purchased my D90 (body only) from JR and it has the warranty. If the camera is listed as New it has a one year Nikon warranty. Almost all of the sellers that carry the D90 on Amazon.com have ratings and will tell you if they are reputable. If you are so afraid of buying from Amazon dealers go to Ritz Camera and pay an extra hundred bucks.

This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. Whether it comes with a warranty card (I assume that's what we're talking about regarding the owners manual) or not seems irrelevent (after all, any hack on ebay can include the warranty card--that doesn't mean Nikon will honor it). What matters (to me, at least) is that Amazon is NOT on Nikon's list of authorized dealers (http://www.nikonusa.com/fileuploads/pdfs/Authorized_Dealers/Nikon_AuthDealers.pdf), and if you're not on there, you're gray market. At least that's what I think . . .

I ordered the d90 kit back in October and it came with the Nikon warranty. Just make sure you purchase the body directly from Amazon, not from a unknown company that's selling it on Amazon.com. I use Amazon.com often, but I'm reluctant to purchase merchandise that's not sold directly by Amazon. Hope this helps.

Also, our personal experience has been that less than reputable (read: SCAM) dealers will sell you the gray market camera and then tell you that it doesn't include accessories such as a battery and battery charger, which we all know comes with any legit camera. Best to spend the extra money and buy from an authorized dealer through authorized channels and have some peace of mind so that if it ever needs service, it will be covered under Nikon USA warranty. We bought our D90 direct from Amazon.com (not a seller through Amazon marketplace) and have been very happy with it. I cannot speak for this particular vendor, though.

E: Thanks for the reply. I also wrote Amazon, and they told me: "Many of the items listed on our website are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. This information should be listed in the owner's manual for the product." I explained what gray market meant in my inquiry, but obviously they don't get it at all. The price is so low that I assumed it was gray market. I agree with you--I would never buy a Nikon product from anyone other than Amazon directly.

The URL (http://www.nikonusa.com/fileuploads/pdfs/Authorized_Dealers/Nikon_AuthDealers.pdf) does now list Amazon.Com as an authorized Nikon Dealer as of the date on which it was published, December 5, 2008. That doesn't necessarily mean that Amazon wasn't authorized before that, it may have just been an oversight in the Nikon listing.

What is a gray market product? I have never heard that term before. Thanks!

No, it is not a gray market lens, just separated from the 5d MkIII or 6d kit. Yes it comes with a USA warranty.

Imported does not equal grey market. Yes, it's imported, as are all cameras & lenses. But it's imported through Nikon so it's an official import, which means it comes with a US warranty and can be repaired in this country by any Nikon dealer. It's a great lens.

I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor. It does come with all it shows, but it is a grey market camera which is NOT advertised. This means the camera was not manufactured to be purchased in the United States. The one I received was intended to be purchased by consumers in Europe. What this means to you is that you will get a camera for less money that Nikon will NOT warranty. Let me repeat this... if anything goes wrong with the camera or Nikon lenses, no one will touch them; you are on your own. I repurchased a similar kit on Amazon through Adorama. They had the best price for a kit that comes with all US warranties. Happy shopping. I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor.

I bought one with US warranty. I do not know if a gray market lens is available with international warranty. Check at large camera store web sites (like Adorama or B&H).

It comes with a 1-year warranty from Canon. Make sure that you are buying a US product with the US/Canada Warranty Card. There is no US warranty for gray market lens. I suggest you purchase it through a reputable online store or camera store. Check online for authorized Canon USA retailers.

Thank you for contacting us. As this is a new product, the one year warranty is held by Nikon USA. There is no registration required for the warranty, if you should need warranty service you would simply call Nikon for instructions and they'll honor the warranty as long as you provide an invoice showing that you purchased the camera from an authorized dealer like Cameta Camera.

Nikon sells different versions in different countries, and the warranty coverage is from the importing company. Nikon USA provides a warranty and repair service only for Nikons sold in the USA that come in through Nikon USA.

The lens I got from "Another Deal Site" was Gray Market as confirmed by Tamron-usa customer service. It has no warranty and Tamron-usa will not repair it. So, buy at your own risk. I have also talked to Amazon Customer service and they are looking into it. This lens sells for $749 on B&H; (US warranty) so you have to decide if the warranty and support is worth the extra $180.

If it's from Amazon or Adorama (where I got mine) and I'm sure B&H; and other big US dealers, it will definitely NOT be gray-market. Great lens too btw.

It is gray market and you are not able to get a warranty in the US. I sent an email to Circuit Street (the seller) to confirm and they verified it is an import. Unfortunately for me I had purchased already since I saw zero mention of that in the actual listing, whereas every other gray market/import listing on Amazon calls that out. Incredibly deceptive, and now I need to wait 1-2 weeks while Amazon processes my cancelled order and gives me my Amazon credit back before I can go and purchase a legit lens from another seller.

Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable. Mine came with a pretty good lens cover. Use it to protect the front element, as this lens will not take filters, much like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. I'm a photojournalist, not a "pixel-peeker." In real-life image making, it's as sharp and robust as any Nikon or Canon lens I've ever used. Auto-focus not quite as fast or silent as a Nikon or Canon, but at this focal length range, those things aren't as crucial. Haven't missed any shots due to those issues. Highly recommended if you can't afford a Nikon or Canon equivalent. Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable.

I recently had a very long talk with a rep from Nikon. He said that there is no new replacement for the D80 yet in the pipeline. Can not verify that this is the truth, but he usually is honest about this sort of thing.

It is a USA warranty. So far so good, It is a great camera. You will need better lenses for the camera then the one you will get.

Ryan...not sure what US model means. All I can tell you it came in a Nikon box no sign of grey market.

The Nikon USA refurbished cameras come with a 90 day warranty. You can purchase a third party extended warranty for less than the difference between a refurb and a USA retail version. Avoid grey market Nikons, as Nikon USA will not service them at all, for any price. I have little worry about the refurbished units,as they have essentially undergone another level of quality control when they were repaired and tested by Nikon USA.

Hello, the Canon USA warranty is one year, and is only applicable on Canon USA lenses, not grey market. The warranty is through Canon USA, so you would need to contact Canon for warranty repair. Thanks.
