Nope. Much more than a "little".

Warranty available?

I buy most of my cameras from Craigs list, have a D7000. D7200. Don't worry about warranty on a stupid camera. If it breaks trash it and get another one Gees. Just got a great deal on a Nikon lens on Craigs list. Hoggs get gas every time a new model comes out. If your patient you will find what you want.

I was just kidding.

I have,on two occasions had to use camera warranties and once on a lens,but it's a calculated risk and the costs involved are factors for me. Having to pay for a repair is one thing,but if it's a camera that the manufacturer won't supply parts for,that's another situation. To each their own as long as they are comfortable with their decision.

Walmart stands behind everything they sell - if being shipped make sure it goes to a Walmart store for pickup. I am with the guy who said buy the US Model - just in case you need a repair at some point.

To All - An observation and comment(s), in the above post a guy was asking about possibly buying a camera at Walmart and has warranty concerns - this is an answer he got for asking a simple question - "Perhaps you should ask Wal-Mart. Nah. That makes too much sense. Ask UHH instead". Several weeks ago I posted a "Thinking out loud" type post about buying a D500 when I already have a D7200, I had several post saying that they are the same camera (which they aren't!!!) and "why the hell" would I do that kind of responses. The worst was this one -"Part of being human is engaging in stupid conduct. Wise people learn from these mistakes. Idiots never do. Hopefully, you are in the former group"??? In a post below the Walmart question was this post - "Rough crowd, as a new member I am scratching my head. Seems most, if not all posts are challenged" -- OMG he is right. There are other "why the hell did you do that or say that" reply type post other than the ones I have copied - my question is WHY. Why do valid/sound/I want to know - etc. etc, type question get answered with sarcasm and "your an idiot for posting that" responses??? What is the purpose of UHH, is it not for both professionals and newbies to ask questions -- any question. I personally was made to feel like an "Idiot" (and other things) for what I posted, I am wandering how the guy that posted the question about buying a camera at Walmart feels? Even if the "why the hell are you asking us" post did not bother him, why say something like that? This is a forum for guys and gals that like photography, like to share ideas, like to get input on many subjects. I am of the belief that there is no dumb post, there is no stupid question, no comment or question that should be dismissed, and when someone post a comment or question --- to them it is something that they want input on, they want advice/opinions from people that have a lot of knowledge about photography. As for the Walmart question, DAMM RIGHT HE SHOULD POST THAT QUESTION HERE! And for the SOB's that post comments like the above mentioned -- have you tried Nikonions.

Hang in there, Judsonc. I could have wrote the same thing back when I'd been a member for less than a year. Matter of fact
I'm pretty sure I did. Then I learned to just skip over the BS. I've posted my unfair share of BS, so I figure I've got it coming. At least this thread hasn't been shoved up in the Attic, yet.
See my above post for an example on how to jus' have fun with it.

DaveO, You've been around long enough to remember Wabbit. I miss Wabbit.

42, Ritz and Walmart use "International" cameras that they sell for less. If you don't mind no warranties then it could be a way to go. As for me, I don't want to shell out a lot of money on a grey market camera, so I stick with paying the extra couple hundred bucks to get a legit camera with a warranty.

I know about hanging in there, I am a contractor, I have around 20 guys that work for me, I have good customers and A holes, when you own a biz you better be able to take crap, I am excellent at letting the crap role off my back. Before I was a contractor I managed golf courses for 34 years- AT COUNTRY CLUBS. I am going to step on some toes here, but if you work for country club members and you can't take crap you better find a new profession. But in a forum like this, why should you have to??? Just don't understand why guys post the comments that they do---oh well.
Thanks

Funny as I was just thinking about how there are a few that are missing that added to the atmosphere here and he was one of them. LOL!

Why the powers that be would ban Wabbit is way beyond me. he added sooo much to the day to day excitement.
