is this made by Nikon, and is it new?

No this is a clone, but it does work well. If it were the Nikon MB-D14 it would cost a whole lot more.

Not Nikon brand. I use my camera as a professional (full time studio use). It works ok, just not the same feel. I have had true Nikon grips for our d700's in the past. Bought this grip thinking that I will most likely purchase a d800 later this year and this was a little savings on accessories.

It is new but a Chinese clone. Works same as Nikon grips I do own but lots cheaper, but it does have one small problem. If you use other than Nikon brand batteries The camera will think the battery is dead. This can be worked around by putting the Nikon battery in the grip and the "other" brand in the camera. I have no idea why this does this but I understand it is a common problem. Other than that, works the same as my Nikon grips. One other thing is the Nikon grips have a lot of metal in them therefore stronger and cost more. I would buy another if I needed to replace it because it broke. It is new but a Chinese clone.

I thought it was when I ordered mine. I should have known that being a good $100 less than the Nikon grips you see on ebay that it would be a knockoff. It is new and seems like a decent knock off. Only time will tell if the quality is worth a darn though. I didn't send mine back as it works and I'll be lightly using it anyhow. I'm amazed how soon it showed up from China after the Nikon release of the D600. I think it is specific to the D600 too, but maybe it fits D800 as well. Don't know.

As others have already answered, no this is not the Nikon version, but it is new, works well, and is, in my opinion, a bargain for the price.

No this is a Chinese made clone,yes it is new. I have this for my D600 and the d7000 compatible version as well both work great. Only issue i have found is the d-stick is a little to sensitive at times.

No no Nikon name on unit, but may be company that makes them for Nikon. It's well built and works fine for 1/5 th of the Nikon branded price. Yes it was new.

It is in fact the original Nikon battery. I read comments that talked about other people getting a knock off battery. I inquired with Amazon and they assured me it was the battery as shown. It is my understanding that if you click on others listed like buy used for less you will get and after market battery. I'm very happy with my purchase, I hope this helps. Michael

It came in a Nikon box and looks like the original that came with the camera (which we lost). Hope this helps.

It says Nikon. Beware, it leaks pretty badly. If you read other reviews I think some customers might suggest different models that have fixed the leaking problem!

Did you mean " Is it brand new or Used"?? The one i received was brand new, under waranty, and a great camera for the price. Its the second Fuji iv'e owned, the other was a S-5000.

Yes, it is new and comes with the manufacturers warranty. I have about 50 cameras and this D3200 is one of my favorites.

It is NEW, Factory-sealed, true Canon production. I've already purchased my first. It's good stuff!

Yes, this one is a new lens and the seller is very courteous and responsive. Regarding warranty, I thankfully haven't had a situation to get into those conversations.

Yes, they are manufactured by Nikon and do come with the Nikon warranty. The tripod and a few of the little gadgets in this bundle are junk, but overall it's a good value. You can always sell the things you don't want. Great camera!

It was new when I purchased it a few months ago. There's a newer model out now, the D5200.

Yes. It has the nikon factory warranty. The paperwork for it comes in the box. Awesome camera and lense combo.

I think may be a grey market product and not covered by USA Nikon. That is what happened to me when I went to register it. However the seller may warrant it. Ask before you buy. Good luck.

The one I have is the retail version, but the first one I got through mail-order dealer was the import version, which I sent back. You can tell by the serial number on the box. Check Ken Rockwell review on-line for which explains the ser. no. codes. I wouldn't buy a new one without Nikon warranty support for U.S.

C'mon, dude. There are NO Nikon lenses made in the USA. What you need to be concerned about is whether it has a USA warranty.

I don't know for sure where the lens is made, but of course Nikon is a Japanese company. The lens is a favorite of Ken Rockwell, whose opinions seem to be unanimously followed. If your concern is warranty, not quality, the question is whether the lens is grey market or carries a "usa warranty." The seller should tell you this.

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

It was listed as used. Maybe it was a returned item. Looked new to me. I'm always questioning if used lenses are worth taking a chance, but I have found 2 times, it is worth it. Also consider how easy it is to return on Amazon if there is any reason it is not up to expectations.
