- Something weird is going on in Thailand: it has become a hot topic in the photography community in Thailand when the authorized distributor of Nikon in Thailand decided to file lawsuits against customers alleging they made defamatory statements on the Internet accusing Nikon in Thailand for poor customer service. These lawsuits are the follow-up of the previous famous case of leaking sweat into D700 (covered already here) where people complained about bad service of the distributor. I have few links, but the Google translation is really bad.
