Are the refurbished camera kits from photo4less reliable? Is the camera or lenses refurbished by nikon themselves?

Don't know who refurbished them... But the camera works great I'm learning photograpy. It's a great camera I've had no problems. It's a big learning curve from iphone photography but a great camera for learning

It is new, the one I received was the Nikon packaging, however it is sold and fulfilled by Amazon. All the appropriate paperwork is inside the packaging.

Hi I would not waste my time &gt;&gt;&gt; I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

Greetings, If you buy the Lens Refurbished Directly from Canon they give you warranty with it. However, we can't guarantee that the warranty will be honor if the refurbished item is bought outside from Canon . On the other hand, we are a canon authorized dealer and all our lenses are brand new, in case you are asking about one of our listing.Hope this help. Best, H and B Digital Team

All refurbished Nikon cameras have a 90 day warranty and I believe the seller extends that to one full year. You can buy an extended warranty through square trade as well. The camera sells through Nikon for 399.99, so if you use that as a value reference, a 3 year extended warranty through squaretrade will run you 79.99. If you use the value of the entire package, the warranty is 134.99. Hope this helps.

Yes, the Nikon D3200 camera is a real Nikon camera and not some knock off and it comes with a USA warranty. It is brand new and not refurbished.

The one I got my wife was new. If it's refurbished item I think the description should say that. For what it's worth the camera we got is great.

I would shun that Nikon s3300 camera if I were you. It's the worst digital camera I ever owned, and any working digital camera from a flea market would be better, and much cheaper. I have never seen a Sony or a Fuji camera that did not deliver the goods, new or used. I believe Nikon had trouble with that model, and one only sees a few of them on the market anymore. Maybe their more current low end Nikon cameras are better. I sent my s3300 back to Nikon for repair, and it came back the same way, poor pictures, blurry, etc. I too am old, 78, and I've been using cameras all my life. Currently, I have a collection of old and new digital cameras of which I am knowledgeable. I've told it to you as it is. I would shun that Nikon s3300 camera if I were you.

Mine were not refurbished and were brand new. Very nice optics and very clear. Good mid size binoculars. One of the best buys in optics I've ever found.

Yes. It has the nikon factory warranty. The paperwork for it comes in the box. Awesome camera and lense combo.

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.

I would say buy a Canon. :/ After months do arguing with Nikon they did finally cover my warranty claim as warranty but it took a lot of back and fourth with them. The first time their warranty "fix" lasted a month, this time I've used it a little longer. I'm assuming it is VERY sensitive to humidity because both times my lens quit working I was in a humid environment (camping in an area with a nearby lake). I did have a bit of success drying it out with hearing aid drying pellets. There are also specific memory cards that work with this Nikon, although I don't remember ever seeing this until I called to get repair.

if your buying one only buy it directly from a company, you can't expect to get a warranty on used items sold here and places like eBay. I would find a place going out of business or buy direct from amazon fulfillment. otherwise I don't know if nikon USA.com will let you buy an extended warranty. if you care bought a warranty buy it from someone I wouldn't buy from eBay. 90% of the stuff there is counterfeit. and horrible? you'll have better luck with amazon? remember a standard kit for nikon d3200 is bought 600 with one lens, check the website listed above. in this response

Eric, Just saw this request. Yes, my lenses are Nikon, new, in the box with serial numbered warranty card. I have had this camera for several months, have taken it on two long trips (Africa and Las Vegas). The 18-140MM lens is a great all-around lens...combined with camera settings...it will be your go-to lens. The 55-300mm is narrow field and best for long range shots. I am not a pro, but studied all I could before buying..love this camera!

I have experienced the same thing but my camera is a few years old. Initially I had an awful time with its flash not working. Just as the warranty would expire, the flash stopped functioning. Nikon fixed it once and replaced the entire camera the second time. But now with this shutter problem, I am fed up. I do not trust the camera, and Nikon by extension. I have a 35 year old Nikkormat which is in my attic, which never gave me any problems. Bummer. I am in the market for another camera, not a Nikon.

There are alot of "gray market" cameras out there. Ask the seller to provide a serial number so you can see if it's a good camera. If they can't or if Nikon's website says they don't show it as "certified" then don't buy it. If you ever need the camera serviced, Nikon will refuse to do it if it's not certified for your country or obviously a knock-off.

If your battery is good and charged, and the power is on, and the lens still does not open, you can contact your seller (as long as the warranty is still valid) to request assistance with the warranty service. The Nikon point and shoot cameras are fairly straight forward and should work as you would expect.
