Sensor Damaged During Cleaning by Professional Dealer

[john_r._fulton_jr.]

<p> <em>Apparantly the damaged camera got to Nikon and they didn't agree that this was a manufacturing defect.</em></p>

<p>Am I the only one who is wondering about the ABOVE??? The dealer/repairperson damaged the sensor with improper cleaning. THEN the dealer sent it in as a "manufacturing defect"? <br>

This is disingenuous of the dealer at best and perhaps fraud at worst. I'm guessing Nikon was aggravated about the situation and told the dealer it would be cheaper to replace the camera than the extensive repair needed. At this point the dealer saw the handwriting on the wall and bailed and offered the new camera. My reading on this is that something much worse happened than a simple "cleaning" accident and they tried to sweep it under the rug with both the manufacturer and the customer. <br>

I'm glad this was resolved in your favor. Now go out and enjoy your camera and make some great photographs.</p>
