Hi rp'.........very 'light' overall but improved in responsiveness, it feels very slick and the menu's, although slightly different, seem very familiar so I can't see me needing the manual at all. Changing focus options are nice now, that's an improvement for sure and focus feels nice and snappy...

Turned up earlier today, all good.......Camera looks as should, ie: brand new, packaging nice and straight, Nikon European warranty card, extended 3 year warranty enclosed and the genuine manual is there too, no photocopied nonsense. Battery charging now so fingers crossed, so credit for now to...

That's true enough....apparently FedEx class Saturday as a 'working day' so when I take the dogs out in a minute for an hour or so the Mrs has been 'asked' not to go anywhere until I get back. I'm in no huge rush, been thinking about one for an age now, but it would be nice if it did turn up today.

Yes OC, I thought to return it as soon as I seen it really, so I'll just chalk it up as a bad experience that has been put right. Already had further confirmation that my camera is now in Bristol so Monday looks like a definite.

I ordered another D7100 from HDEW after being specific with prior e mails about wanting nothing other than brand spanking new, placed my order last night after receiving assurances and received tracking details today stating next working day delivery via FedEx, fingers crossed but they are very...

I realise that OC, give them chance to get my refund to me and I will report back.....up until this point I am inclined to think they have been fair, doesn't alter the fact that I wasn't happy with what I received, but I don't really want to beat them over the head with a stick if all ends well.

After the above e mail response I did get my credit card refunded on this and they previously promised to send a cheque to cover return costs so apart from a royal waste of time it seems to have been settled without issue, providing I get my cheque that is. Coughing to all camera's in their...

Duncan i spoke to the warehouse manager tonight about your camera and he said the camera was just like all the other cameras we send out, in fact it has the bonus of having an english plug which so may do not they usually have an adapter, he did say though the screen protector on the back lcd...

My reason for not taking a pic' and checking data was just in case it hadn't actually been used, just unboxed, handled and badly repacked.......by doing so I would of used it had they of checked and mine was the only actuation....I am just hoping they send another without issue, although it was...

Hi OC........it was a grey import from a well known source, I have sent it back today guaranteed delivery for tomorrow so would expect a response then too. Once resolved I will post up the outcome. From the prompt responses I've received via e mail up to this point I'm quite optimistic of a...

That was my reasoning.........it's clearly been opened previously. It's packed ready to go back and I have assurances I will be refunded for return postage in writing so for the time being I am ok with it, it might be a genuine oversight. At least that is what I'm hoping.

I do still like the D300 rp'..........like many others I have waited for the D400 but it doesn't appear to be on the cards for some reason or another, should it ever materialise the cost will probably be prohibitive anyhow. I have read enough (probably every one out there) reviews to realise the...

Thanks all, I have since received a response from the seller who seemed genuinely keen to put things right, offering to refund return postage also. I did think about the shutter count but thought better of it....it certainly appears as if I have received a used one by the seems of it (possibly...

Hi All, Bit of a strange one this......I bought a 'new' Nikon D7100 body which turned up today. The packaging on first inspection seemed a little 'off' as there was no seal present and was quite badly creased. The inner boxes were all showing signs of being opened and the plastic packaging was...

My wing nut came unstuck and was araldited back together but the general design of the head itself is a bit crude so I replaced it with a Giottos which is far better quality and locks up nicely and without effort....the tripod itself is top notch though :)
