well i recently bought a new Nikon d90 from an authorised dealer but in 7 days unluckly it fell and broke and when i went to a authorised servive centre they gave me a budget of more then 50% of value. it is my very first camera so i look forward for some support.
And they suggest to buy another camera just 7 days and no positive support from nikon

Hi maxsteel sar,

I bet your stomach dropped when your new camera fell, I would have been sick. Sooo, Did you purchase another D90? I understand that it's a great camera and a good choice due to price, versatility, etc. Welcome to the world of the Nikonites,
Happy Shooting!

Hi maxsteel,

Direct support from Nikon is impossibly terrible. They never reply emails. I luckily got a hold with someone on the phone, they told me to drive to upstate New York, about 70 miles from the city. To me it's like a chance of being rejected or wasting efforts.

Once you bought the camera you're pretty much on your own. Good luck!

I should think that if you paid for an additional store warranty it should have been covered, I am not sure if the one yr Nikon warranty would cover the camera.

The D90 is an excellent camera, I hope you replaced it.!!!

I am thinking about buying a Nikon D300S are they worth the money? I have a D50 right now and want to move up, the people I shot with all have Canons.

Hello maxsteel,

I would be just as upset if I dropped my camera too! So would be my wife, who bought my Nikon as a birthday-Christmas-anniversary present. My advice is to do what I do: Put that camera strap around your neck and never carry the camera around with just your hand on the body or the strap worn on the wrist (like I've seen even some pros do!). When I'm not using it, its in a well-padded camera bag. I even have the habit of putting the strap around my neck *while* removing the camera from the bag, and while I am putting it back. I've never dropped it yet (knock on wood) in the two years I've owned it, and I shoot in all kinds of conditions. And I never have to clean my sensor, because I only have one lens that stays on 24-7.

As for the support issue, I can't make a judgment on them yet, because I've never needed service from them, but then again, my warranty has long expired. Good luck.

Received my first DSLR Camera, the D3000 and with that being said I am definately a Novice here. Unfortunately, I believe I have committed to taking photos at indoor hs basketball games and thought it would be easier than it has been - Just when I think I undrestand what I need to do, I feel like my pictures are not getting any better - any advice?
