Just thinking, would it have been possible to decline repair and insist on a replacement?

Ive had it 6 months, so not sure how i stand there. To be honest Gramps, I'm kinda happy Nikon have it, at least then when it comes back its had a full health check. a new 1 Could i say Could have issues too....ive just been buying up 30 year old Minolta MD lens for the A7Rii and I'm having fun whilst i wait for it.. so I'm pretty cool.

My friend who I've just been to Sweden with on business said what you did, i should have kicked off with calumet, but i couldn't be bothered :)

Well as long as you are happy, my only experience of an issue was with a D810 I had from Panamoz and the return/replacement for new was faultless. :)

When I got the rear LCD screen on the D500 replaced by Nikon they quoted 2-3 weeks but did it within 10 days. Which was a nice surprise, :) but I had cancelled a holiday on the back of that estimate because I wanted the camera for the holiday. :( :rolleyes:

So just saying, they may do it quicker than that if you are lucky. ;)
 
thanks red ill keep checking...

No. Generally speaking, a manufacturer's warranty alllows them to repair or replace at their discretion.

Doesn't the buck stop with the seller then?

No, you have to let them repair, I had that with a Leica binocular although it only took seven days from my dispatch to having them back in the hand.

Just checking the new consumer law, they have to replace (if requested) within the first 30 days and there is an additional requirement within 6 months where a repair has failed.

Anyone shooting just jpeg with their D500?
I hear stories of people getting good results but I don't see the advantage of shooting in RAW then loading into Capture NX-D prior to Photoshop.
If you shoot in jpeg why, what do you think of your results ... and what settings do you use?

I tried some processing with raw images but found the jpegs are just as good (for me anyway).
All my images in the 'what birds have you seen today' thread are.

Shooting my football matches, I started out with just RAW. Now I shoot RAW + JPEG so that if I need to edit any more than usual, I have the RAW file. JPEGS seem to do the job in that respect. Always shoot just RAW though with my bird images.

I now shoot primarily in jpeg, standard settings with a bit of added sharpening and then apply some presets in Lightroom if/when needed. I think the results coming out are brilliant and the times I have messed about in RAW I've ended up with very similar files anyway.

Standard, fine, sharpening +6, clarity +1, those are the only settings I've moved.
WB is auto as is iso with a max of 8000 just in case.
 
Wish Nikons repair service was this good, 3 weeks now and still waiting parts, I've kicked off but no good, nothing you can do :( rubbish...still waiting for Shutter Plate...
