The real question for me is "What is the stocking situation for USA models at other dealers?" As I understand the facts the USA model of the OP's camera was out-of-stock at B&H, so any theoretical price difference between the US and import models would have been irrelevant. And since some DSLRs are being phased out what is the prospect of getting any more USA models?

Typically the B&H warranty mirrors the manufacturer's 1-year warranty (as in this case), and since B&H isn't likely to go anywhere soon, and is sufficiently reputable and financially strong enough to be a trustworthy warrantor, I'd not worry about the difference.

What are B&H's warranty terms?
We cover all manufacturing defects. Duration varies based on the item. Please see the product page and locate the "In the Box" section for duration of coverage. Typically this will match the manufacturer's standard warranty.

So without any real difference in warranty, and since once out-of-warranty the camera can always be sent to B&H for repair, I don't see much reason for a different price. I would note that some retailers, e.g., the infamous Abe's of Maine, offer no warranty at all on import models unless at additional cost.

She needs a camera and she has the money it's up to her. For me I wouldn't buy it. But then I am one who can live without camera when I take a trip. I do understand many people can't.

What is the return policy? probably 30 days. If it breaks, Nikon USA won't repair it but maybe a small camera shop that does camera repairs will. Chances are, you will not have any problems. But if you do???

If something breaks and is unrepairable you replace it. What could be simpler ?

About $500 to replace it today. Nikon service is not cheap. But, fortunately, SLRs keep getting cheaper day by day.

Buying an extended warrantee could easily cost more than a replacement camera at the near future price of the exact same model.

I have had many Nikon cameras, never a problem. The only problem is when I cracked the screen, and I certainly didn't send it to Nikon to repair, I had a local repair. Cheaper and just as good.

I don't think that you will ever have problems with the camera, but if you are worried, return it. You can get a US version, or get one used. Either will work.

You could always look into the mirrorless Nikons. The Z50 is reasonable...

Hello, I would go to Barnes and Noble and try to order David Busch's manual on the D 7500,
or go to his web site and order directly.

I think that all Nikons use the same menu, basically.
If you have any problems, just google it. It has helped me many times. I keep forgetting things.
