Camera Warranty if bought overseas?

[johnnywb]

Just a quick question, if i buy a Nikon abroad, is it going to be a headache if something goes wrong, or can i just take it into a Nikon stockist?
Thanks

From this page on Nikon UK's website:

Nikon UK said:

Nikon digital products sold in Europe have a warranty which is honoured by Nikon European offices in the countries listed below. This warranty is not supported by Nikon offices outside of Europe. Nikon digital products sold outside Europe also have localised warranties and are not supported in Europe.

However, I don't think that means, as you suggested, you'll be able to make a warranty claim at any Nikon stockist; you'll need to take it back to the original shop, or give it directly to Nikon.

You'd have to post it back to the retailer
