Nikon warranty

Just because I/m not clear on this and Nikons' website isn't either......

 

Is the USA Nikon warranty on camera bodies 3 years? or 1 year? Is it

different on film or digital bodies? I've been lurking on some eBay

items and I wonder how many of the USA cameras really are. Thanks.

I know that digital camera bodies have a one year warranty from Nikon and Nikon lenses have a 5 year warranty BUT Nikon warranties are not transferable. However MACK warranties are transferable. Used is used. Unless the store selling it give you a 30-60 or 90 day guarantee.

Right, Nikon USA warranties are not transferable. Therefore, when the original first-hand owner sells it, technically the warranty also ends.

The standard Nikon USA warranty is 1 year on bodies and 5 years on lenses, parts and labor. Nikon offers extended warranties for their bodies that would give you 3 years total. These extended warranties must be purchased at the same time as the body. The warranty is only valid for the original owner and covers manufacturer defects only. Grey market items are not covered, and in most cases Nikon USA won't repair them even if you want to pay them to.

B&H offers a USA F6 for example with a 3 year warranty, but I've seen also 1 year USA cameras. Do a search for an F6 on eBay and you'll all kinds of warranties
