[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 86903, member: 8344"] Travaloid, Did you know at the time, the place you bought the camera was NOT Nikon authorized? If they fooled you, you may have some recourse. Otherwise, Nikon AU will not repair the camera. This is Nikon's way of forcing you to buy the camera from the LOCAL authorized dealers. You can get service from the authorized dealer it actually came from. If Digital Camera fixed the D800 and they are NOT an authorized repair centre, that too will void your warranty. My advice, try to get your money back. Don't let a non authorized company touch your camera. Send it to Nikon, where ever it originated from, if you can't get a refund. Your only recourse is if the Grey Market dealer mislead you into thinking they were an authorized Nikon Dealer and, you will be in for a fight, most likely. I am not sure how AU laws are in regards to these issues, you will have to do your own research on this. In the future, I wouldn't buy a camera body from a non authorized or grey market source. I always buy my bodies from local stores. Lenses, from either Canada or the USA. I don't care about the grey market issue, I only care about price. I am 1-2 hours away from my closest USA authorized dealer on the other side of the border and can easily make a family shopping-day trip to get it serviced. In your case, I trust that is not the case. You may have to ship it. I don't envy your position. Most likely, you have a DUST BUNNY on your sensor. Lets hope it is that and not a pixel. Try to post a picture so we can see. Most likely, you are trying to upload too big a file. Make the picture 800 pixels across at 72 DPI and try again. [/QUOTE]
