A few weeks ago I reported that Nikon Canada will reduce their warranty to 1 year ion February 1st. Nikon Canada has already updated their website with the warranty changes:
This Product is warranted by Nikon to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase by the original consumer purchaser. During this one year period, if this Product is found to be defective in material or workmanship, Nikon will at its option, either repair or replace this Product with a product of comparable specifications and value, each without charge, or refund the purchase price shown on your purchase receipt. Except to the extent restricted or prohibited by law, this warranty is subject to the following conditions, limitations and exclusions:
1. This warranty extends to the original consumer purchaser only and is not assignable or transferable, unless otherwise required by law.
2. This warranty shall not apply to any Product which has been subjected to misuse, abuse, abnormal use, negligence, alteration, accident, power surge if the Product contains electronic components, or has had its serial number altered or removed.
3. This warranty does not apply to any defects or damage directly or indirectly caused by or resulting from the use of unauthorized replacement parts and/or service performed by unauthorized personnel.
4. This warranty does not apply to any batteries.
5. This warranty is valid only with authentic Products, sold new by Nikon and purchased from Nikon or its authorized dealers/resellers in the country of purchase.
6. This warranty does not apply to non-Nikon products provided by Nikon, which are instead covered under the warranty, if any, issued by their respective manufacturers.
