Nikon camera service: surprised !!!

Hi Friends,

The purpose of this forum is to get your advice on small issue and to make aware of whats going on... with Nikon... oh it rhymes...

After using 5 months the brand new Nikon camera got issue. Issue: A black spot on screen (more prominent when zoomed) and also when the images are transferred to computer the same black spot are on the images.

I submitted to Nikon (Al Salaam) as its still under waranty and I know Nikon service is good, may be I am unlucky one.

They kept camera for 1 week and later informed me that one issue is solved (the images when transferred to computer will not have that black spot), but the black spot will remain on screen for ever. IT IS NOT repairable or UNDER WARANTY. They say it’s a dirt on inside part of lense and replacing camera is impossible, i agree to that, but was hoping for repair.

Any comments on this from the camera techies. How can I get my camera back in good condition. The camera is normal one non-DSLR just 1000+ riyals one.

Thanks

Did you take it to the service centre in Salam Store in West Bay and ask them to clean it ?

Nikon Salam had also very bad experience in Nikon Salam, Specially their technician. Anyway, did they clean the sensor of the camera??

I dont think you will get a replacement. There are certain rules for it.

Did you watch their advertisement Display...

May be it was:

Non-DSLR just for 1001+ One Black spot free.

you should insist on replacing the unit.. the money you pay for the unit dont have any black spot right? so might as well the unit you bought as well...
