[QUOTE="eal1, post: 311004, member: 8642"] OK - the results! Brought back camera, was offered another, found the box better sealed, opened it and found the manual sealed properly, unlike previous manual, and decided to accept this camera instead. The sales personnel - all photographers - understood, were supportive, and had no difficulty making the exchange. The boxes did not have the "U" over the barcode, but the warrantee stipulates USA and it matches the serial numbers of camera and lens (24-85) in the kit. I couldn't be happier about the way it went. I'm not worried nor checking when this camera was shipped by Nikon for distribution because it was better sealed than the previous one. I didn't check actuations on either camera. My guess is that the other one was taken home and exchanged/returned or was a display model and the manual was consulted, thereby unsealing the packaging. No matter - the story came through for me and i will not hesitate to go there to purchase other items or to stop by and discuss the camera with the sales personnel. Thanks for your help and advice.
