Nikon UK is so confident of the build quality of its cameras, it has announced today that it is extending the warranty for every model in its digital range from 1 September to 2 years.

To take advantage of the two year warranty customers are required to register their product. This extended warranty will also be available to customers who purchased a camera on or after 1st July 2007 when they register their product and if they have already registered Nikon will contact them directly to ensure they receive the extended warranty.

Mark Evans, Service Manager - Imaging, Nikon UK said, “We are confident that this will be a distinct benefit to all users and reinforces the confidence we have in the quality and durability of our products.”

Nikon has yet to confirm what happens to those who bought a Nikon camera before 1 July.

We will keep you posted.
