In the almost 20 years of NikonRumors, I don’t think I have ever covered the Nikon USA extended care plans. Nikon offers two different plans in the US: Nikon Care and Nikon Care+.
B&H Photo has more detailed listings on the different plans and pricing:
- Nikon 3-year Care+ Protection Plan mirrorless & DSLR cameras ($2001 – $2500)
Nikon 3-year extended warranty for mirrorless & DSLR cameras ($4,501-$5,000)
Nikon 2-year extended warranty for Nikon kits ($9,001-$10,000)
Nikon 2-year extended warranty for Nikkor F/Z mount lenses ($501-$750)
The plans are also available at Paul’s Photo, Service Photo, and other authorized Nikon dealers. Here are the details:
Nikon USA’s extended care plans, officially called Nikon Care and Nikon Care+, are manufacturer-backed protection plans for eligible new or factory-refurbished Nikon cameras (Z-series mirrorless, DSLRs, Coolpix), lenses (Z and F-mount), Speedlights, and select accessories purchased from authorized dealers. These plans deliver 2 or 3 years of total service coverage that runs concurrently with (and effectively extends) the standard one-year limited warranty, covering mechanical and electrical failures—including power surges with repairs or replacements performed at authorized Nikon centers using genuine parts.
Nikon Care+ adds protection against accidental handling damage (ADH), such as drops and liquid spills. Key benefits include a “No Lemon Promise” (replacement after three repairs for the same issue), repair-or-replace coverage up to the original purchase price, free round-trip U.S. shipping, and free transferability to a new owner. Plans are typically purchased at the time of the product purchase (generally within 30 days) and exclude normal wear/tear, cosmetic damage, theft, abuse, data loss, and other conditions detailed in the full terms.
