I did not whatch the video, yet. But my experience so far with Nikon is, that it is no problem to get used gear from outside the EU. Emphasis on used and as a consumer. Also, Nikon's repair service is pretty good, also for basically obsolete stuff. As long as parts are available that it, and you are ready to pay the hourly rate (which is also fine, because they are not running a charity). That being said, I prefer to buy within Europe, or even Germany, for simple reason of easier returns and no need for customs. Edit: Asking who owns the camera because certain sources forbspare parts are blocked, while spares in general are available, or because certain sales channels are not available is a strong question to ask. Because you can sell and repair your gear. Cameras are air gaped, so you don't even havebto perform OTA updates. Nikom cannot block you from repairing your gear yourself, other then voiding the warranty, or using it which ever way you want. Quite different from, say, John Deere... Edit 2: Just realized, every piece of used kit I bought, and had register for various reasons with Nikon ranging from repairs to servicing and cloud storage, was accepted by Nikon without problems. In one case I know the body was already sent in by someone else before, still no issue. I really have to watch the video, it seems. Edit 3: Ok, just watched it long enough to understand the perceived problem. And it has nothing to do with Nikon per se. You can easily buy, every day all day long, used Nikon stuff from Japan and have it shipped to the EU for example. And it was not customs that blocked it, it was eBay. And even then only for international shipping through eBay international shipping. Which, apparently, is perfectly in line with existing legislation, but I am not a lawyer. So everything Nikok did, and yes this sucks, was blocking the resale of a used lense to customers abroad / outside the US, not the sale itself. That is different from what Apple does (as mentioned in the video). To make it short: Yes, you own the kit and can sell it whenever you want. As every owner, you do not have the right to sell in whatever market on whatever plattform you want (commercial sellers are even more restricted). These restrictions have nothing to do with ownership rights. As I suspected, the video is based on so many misconceptions and misunderstandings, it is little more than a rant.
