A little over a week ago my wife dropped her backpack onto my D810. The camera functioned well enough, but in the process she broke the top LCD window. I contacted Nikon and they provided me with the place to send it to for an estimate.
In this week and a half since posting it to the service center I received the estimate, approved the service and I have the camera already back as good as new. They serviced the repair, installed firmware updates, cleaned and tested meter and sensors, and the camera looks almost like a brand new body.
I have owned Nikon since the mid 70's. I have only had a couple of occasions to use their service. One other time I sent in my D600 for them to check about the oil spotting. They confirmed it and sent me a brand new D610 which I am still using a couple of years later. I never even requested a new camera at the time.
This post isn't intended to put down other manufacturers. I am sure the others do their best as well. I am just pleased they have been very fast with their service. A week-and-a-half from my door to theirs and back.

Like you I started using Nikon in the 70's also. I have never been one to baby them (working as a journalist). I have drop them many times and they just keep on working. I like you don't mean to demean any other brands. My investment in lenses keeps me from looking at other brands but, I have absolutely no reason to consider them either.
