So i bought my D800 when it was first announced. Like many others i was on a waiting list with B&H for months, waiting for stock.
I couldn't wait any longer so i bought from a guy on Craigslist who bought two (One for himself and one to sell for profit). I obviously paid a little more than the retail price as the camera was in demand. The camera was a brand new US version in the box with all the paper work.
Over the last few weeks ive noticed al of of crap on the inside of my viewfinder (Not the sensor...but in the viewfinder itself) I didnt think that this would be possible as the camera is meant to be completely weather sealed.
So i called Nikon yesterday to arrange a service. They said the camera would be covered under warrantee (as its not even a year old) They said, but because i dont have a receipt i would have to pay as the warrantee doesnt mean anything without a receipt.
Has anyone else run into this issue, and can you advise?
I buy alot of my gear used, i.e. 24-70mm 2.8 70-200mm 2.8 All with the box and warrantees but no receipts.
