am thinking of replacing my aging Nikon D7000 with a D810, however I can only afford to pay for a grey import rather than a lovely UK one with all the proper paperwork and guarantees !!
I know most grey suppliers will offer their own warranty through some third party if you get bother, but I was wondering what would happen if say the supplier goes out of business or is just unhelpful in such circumstances - would Nikon UK carry out repairs and service on a grey import if I was happy to pay their charges or would the serial number come up as dodgy on their systems and they wouldn't touch it.
Grateful of any advice on this, to my mind the savings on a grey one are worth the risks if at worst case Nikon would charge for repairs, but I'd get an awful telling off from the mrs if I ended up with a faulty camera which no-one would repair !!!
