Could it really be? A Red Nikon?

It’s almost like the red stapler. Now I, a Lumberg with his humdrum black Nikon must see about claiming this Red Nikon as mine!

Hmm… on second thought, I haven’t been able to find the Red 7900 from any other sales channel. Either someone whipped out a can of Krylon to make this happen, or it might be a Grey Market camera. I think I’ll save my money.

On second second thought – it IS a Grey Market camera:

Item is Brand New in Original Box! Camera is Imported

Comes with free 3 Year Worldwide Mack Warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other words, Nikon USA is not warranting the camera because it DIDN’T come into the US through authorized sales channels. I’ve never dealt with Mack before. B&H sells extended warranties offered through them, but as an extension to a genuine USA manufacturer’s warranty. I guess that means they’re okay, but I wouldn’t want to take chances. Unless Grey Market is what you want and are willing to take the risk, stay away.

It DOES suck that Nikon isn’t selling the red ones in the US though.
