How do I know if my Nikon product is "Gray Market"?
If the deal was just too good to be true, it probably was. One of the first indicators that a piece of Nikon merchandise might be Gray Market is if the price is considerably less than most other resellers.
Additionally, a genuine Nikon Inc. USA product will include an Owners' Manual and Warranty Registration card in English. It will also include power cables (if applicable) designed for US style plugs. Any other language on the printed material or wrong cables indicates a Gray Market item.
Another indication of a Gray Market product would be photocopied manuals or manually created software CD's. Nikon Inc. USA always provides professionally printed or duplicated materials with genuine products.
What does owning a "Gray Market" Nikon product mean to you?
Nikon Inc. USA cannot provide any technical support or warranty service on Gray Market items. Additionally Nikon Inc. USA cannot perform any fee-based repair work on Gray Market items. Please do not contact Nikon Inc. USA for help with any Gray Market products. Please contact the reseller or importer of your Gray Market items for warranty and service information as well as software updates and downloads.
True, but I haven't seen a fake Canon report yet. Not to say that it hasn't happened. Just haven't seen one reported.

That's 'cuz they're rebranded as Pentaxs!
If it were rehabbed though there would be no need to replace the outer serial number with a fake, and if you did wouldn't you replace it with a fake that matched the cpu serial?Stolen or rehabbed by a third party that didn't, or couldn't re-flash a replaced processor with the correct s/n.
The article mentioned the outer serial was faked, nikon noted that the numbers were the wrong color and had been replaced.Not saying the outside number was replaced - I said a replaced processor (electronic s/n) and they didn't or couldn't reflash the chip (change the electronic s/n to match the tag.)
If they're just putting crap together, they probably don't care how it matches up.
Yup, no worries. The guy who wrote this doesn't strike me as being the trustworthy sort, believe me.. lolI guess I missed that sentence. Like I originally said. I find parts questionable.
So there is the opinion of another scumbag.
