Jack, I printed the complete manual for the P900 and no longer have the camera.

If you are interested it is yours for postage.

Let me know if interested.

Johnny Carson and Red Skelton were both very funny on their own back "back in the day". When they got together on Johnny's TV show it was hilarious.

With only a few exceptions, Nikon cameras meant to be sold in the US market have serial numbers that begin with the number “3.” The list mentioned above illustrates this.

Cameras used heavily might not “fail” per se, but it is not uncommon for DSLRs to need to have their shutter replaced (e.g., pro sports photographers), so repairability is important. Z-series models may not have the shutter issue, but there may be others. Also, accidents will hapoen.

USA is important for resale as well. Personally, I would never purchase a non-US model.

Clark, thanks for the information, basically that is what I understood, but was just curious. I am a very light user of my camera and over the years have never had a problem that required a repair. Think saying that will "jinx" me???

I am a bit confused why GeneV cares. GeneV, are you a camera xenophobe?

What is the failure rate of Nikons? Is it so high that one should be concerned about factory repairs being needed? If so, then do not buy a Nikon; simple as that.

Historically, if on a trip to Japan, people would take that as an opportunity to buy a Camera at a lower price. I have a Panasonic TZ100 which is the twin of the SZ100. Why did I make the decision to go with the TZ100? Easy, it was the first to drop the price when the TZ/TX-200 was introduced; MONEY.

Are they different, NO... there is an extensive article doing a side-by-side specification comparison, other cameras, US vs Euro, are lightly compared.

What the heck is an Apotelyt?? The word is a title of a listing of Photo abbreviations.

Sorry you were confused by my post. Also, I'm not a "camera xenophobe", or any other xenophobe for that matter.

It was just a matter of curiosity.

Nikon factory will only work on US models.


That has been documented very often here. My interest was only curiosity for mine, bought second hand.

What reason makes it important to identify import model?


Just a matter of curiosity.

And how much does this inspection cost you?


Since this was only a matter of curiosity I won't be checking on that.

I have been under the impression that the serial number shown on a Nikon camera can determine if the camera is a US model or a import/non-US model

I sent an Email to Nikon with the following information: Nikon, D5300, s/n 4921028 and asked if it is a US model.

Nikon replied: "The only to determine if the D5300 is an import/non-US model is to send it in for inspection and have our technicians evaluate it."

Guess I have been wrong all this time, or am I? Anyone know for sure which is true?

Very pretty "jellies" Dr. Nikon.

Many, many years ago while on a trip to Florida with my parents we saw some pretty "blue things" on the beach. My dad said for me to pick it up. I didn't. Turned out later we found out they were Portuguese Man of War. One of the best decisions I have made.

Thanks for the laughs Longshadow. I couldn't resist sending the bit. Guess I have a strange sense of humor.

Scuba Diving Geologist
There's a scuba diving geologist who has made it his business to measure the relative sizes of the rises, drops, cavities and undulations of coral formations. Of course, this can only be done in the summer months so he takes the winters off to avoid the frigid air.

You may tag him as a frost-free reef ridge rater.
