Not quite Jerry, Nikon will still fully back that camera, its just that NikonUSA will not work on it. It can be repaired at a cost (non-warranty repair) through any authorized Nikon repair centers in the US, just not Melville or El Segundo which are the two Nikon USA Warranty repair centers. If you want warranty repairs it will have to be shipped to one of the multitude of Nikon International Warranty Repair Centers around the world.

Go ahead and try it...let me know how it works out for you...
I do respect his opinion...told him once I had a Nikon N50 and a Canon AE-1...and he told me to throw the old Nikon in the river and weight it down with the Canon...you dont get that kind of advice from just anybody.

Just kidding about the Angie, MT!

I think it's quite clear that it's the body plus the two lenses quoted. But, I'm prepared to bet that it doesn't come with a battery and if you take them up on their 'generous' offer you'll find they're not genuine Nikon batteries, and the 8GB card that they throw in 'Free' will be some obscure make too. In fact, you'll probably find that it comes with nothing unless specifically stated; i.e. No instruction book maybe?

Makes me wonder just how much business these outfits do and how long they stay in business before the local AG goes after them?

I can't speak to Nikon since I walk on the darkside. Canon has a policy that any equipment not bought from a US dealer is not covered by their US warranty.
I have however been told by a Canon customer service rep that despite this they usually take care of customers with equipment from non dealers and I also have heard reports of their servicing grey market products under warranty.
Nikon on the other hand have been getting a very stinky reputation lately for poor customer service. This would make me want an undertaking from them to service equipment from this supplier, before buying a camera which has had many reports of problems.
