Placed the order around one month ago, and got it last week, it is definitely new. But I find its manufacture date is 2014.

is this situation can be a issue for either body or lens ?

I don't know the nikon DSRL series well, just brought it as a gift to my parents.

Plz, someone come and answer, appreciate!!:)
 
Who did you buy it from? I think I would have some questions for that company. There have been a couple recalls since then and you will want to check on that also.
You also might want to make sure it is not a grey market camera since you are in the USA

I bought it on bestbuy, same price to Nikon's official website.
yup, I've head the recall edition are 2015s and 2017s. Ummmm idk much.

It’s a simple distribution issue. Nikon makes camera’s and sends to regional distributors, and the sellers like Bestbuy stock their warehouses from there. Not too surprising really, and as Pete said...it’s not like it would spoil or anything.

I can't argue with Don K.'s advice although I would suggest there is another approach with Best Buy.

It all depends on whether this camera was on the recall list (how to find out is elsewhere on this site). Let's assume that 2014 camera was not recalled. But when you get your "newer" replacement version it was. Then you have to deal with a new issue.

Seems to me you could wait awhile and use whatever Best Buy has as a no-questions-asked return policy, let's assume 90 days. Use the 90 days to test the camera further. If you want to return it then, do so. If the camera works the way you expected it to work, why go through the hassle?

I suppose the definition of "new" also needs to be considered. Unless Best Buy knew something was fishy, I believe they thought they were selling you a "new" camera. Unless someone can say a 2017 version of a D750 is "better" than a 2014 version it would be OK to have one, wouldn't it. If you want to really push on this and the camera is one you are willing to keep...tell them unless they give you a discount (some money back) you want another one. Many ways to consider here. Good luck.

this make sense dude. TY, I am considering the definition of "new", that's true. If the camera works well, I would not look for trouble.

it has warranty after all.

Thanks for your patient explanation!

I would update this thread if I figure the issue out in future.

I just got my D750+24-120 vr lens kit last week. I am curious how you find out your body's manufacture date? Thanks!
