Sorry man, just checked my warranty card for the D3s.
"This warranty card is valid only in the country where you purchased this product."
It's LENSES that have international warranties.
Yours is the best story. Your intro is so unique it is a bit inspiring.Cre8tivefix wrote: Hmmm... Well my first one was a canon rebel. I really wanted to try a DSLR, but I don't like spending money on anything. I bought that one because it was broken, really cheap, and had an issue I figured I could fix. I chose it over other broken cameras because my father had a canon and I figure I could borrow a lens from him for testing and because I could get a second body for parts if I needed them. From there I just kept fixing, using, selling, and using the money to upgrading to a newer broken cameras of the same brand. I currently have a 40D and am hankering for a 5D. I liked them, they were easy to work on, I know I can get good parts, I'veI got a few lenses of my own now, and they worked great when fixed up.
So... as you can guess warranties, and extras aren't really what I shop for.
After my Pentax I bought a Canon Rebel and a 70-300IS lens. Loved the camera dna since I had $500 invested in the lens, moved to the XT for digital. Now I have my XSi and have never regretted to choices.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
