I have spoken with Nikon USA and they told me that it was a european model. The prongs on the charger are round and set far apart. That's the best way to describe it. Nikon confirmed that the serial number was not an american model. They said they would not warrant the camera. If I had any problems I would have to send it to the country that it was intended for sale in. It is very dishonest. I saw the camera I wanted in a camera shop and told my husband that was what I wanted for christmas. It was a brand new model and they were sold out everywhere. He resorted to the internet. We realize now that he should have just waited to get it after the holidays. I think I am being fair. I just want what I paid for and I think they should pay for shipping since it was their mistake.

I see this all the time at my shop. I'm a Seiko dealer and I have people who come to my shop, that have purchased those overseas gray market watches off of internet sites all the time. If it's not gray market, it's really old, out of date merchandise. One lady saved $13.05 over my price. She brings the watch in to be sized. The watch is brand new but, NINE years old. Didn't say a word. She did get a good deal on it. Don't bring it to me when you start having problems with 'em. You can't get parts for them. The hard part is telling who's selling the US models. The funny part about this is I thought nikon was a japanese company. You state the charger was not "american". I'm not sure what that means. Are you saying the charger had a different voltage or what?
