If one got a Nikon with or without warranty and Nikon Canada can't do the repair (for whatever reason) it is their job to care for that camera and send to a service workshop of theirs that still does the job.
I was under the impression that the camera manufacturers were obliged to supply spare parts for 10 years after the end of production. I do hope so, as my F6 is from an early batch, although everything is working ok at the moment.
I was told by a large Nikon dealer here in the UK that Nikon build the F6 once they have enough orders for a run of 200.
On what legal base?I was under the impression that the camera manufacturers were obliged to supply spare parts for 10 years after the end of production.
That's the case in the USA. At least for automobiles...............
On what legal base?
Camera manufacturers are located in different countries. And people buy cameras at dealers all over the world.
There is no such regulation in the EU, not even within Germany. Here a construct has to be made up, based on several laws, common use and the very product.
I don't think so, I checked, at least in Arizona, I have a 2002 Isuzu Axiom, when Isuzu left the consumer market in 2009 they stop making parts, what was left on hand is all that is left, I got the last year I got the last struts in the US, other then 3rd party. Same for Saab and to a lesser extend Saturn, GEM is still making engine and trani parts but no longer make body parts.
When Minolta stopped making cameras they stopped making parts as well. I think Nikon and Canon as a service to users made parts available for 10 years but I don't think there is any law that says they have to.

I wonder if anyone has a copy of the circuitry schematics. As annoying as it is, even non-functioning circuit boards might be repairable with some chips and a soldering iron. If you know the specs.
No I'm just wondering in general for newer cameras if it will come down to soldering circuitry as parts dry up, and if the knowledge required to do so will be available.Are you asking about an F5?
Prices for F5s and F100s are coming down, I would think about getting a spare body, my wife game me a Minolta 9, already thinking about second body.
