Recently, the owners of Internet domains containing the word “Nikon” started receiving letters from Nikon Polska, asking them to stop using the name of Nikon and change their domain’s name. This fact is even more interesting as also those internet sites which have cooperated smoothly with the Nikon company for several years have got such messages . . .
During the last several years there have been a lot of complaints about the quality of the Nikon customer service. The problem must have been serious indeed because in autumn 2009 the discontent of the Nikon users reached a peak as the PolishNikonService.com page was created – on this site people who had dealt with the Nikon customer service were able to present their side of the story. Soon, the site has been filled with entries and most of them were full of criticism of the Nikon service . . .
The measures, taken by Nikon Polska, are so strange because they constitute an exception on a worldwide scale. Virtually every country has its own independent forum or an Internet site with the Nikon name included in its domain address and no local Nikon branch has tried to force them to give it up . . .

“Nikon Polska” Wyrobi
Haven’t I seen that on pickle jars?
I used to sell cameras decades ago. A professional came in who loved the features of Nikon cameras. He said he had two, because one was always in the shop.
I’ve tried various DSLR systems, Nikon, Canon, Sony, and finally settled on Olympus. The Nikon system was the least useful. Their business model seems to be to get you to buy their higher end cameras by crippling functions in the lower end cameras. Sure, you can use the old Nikon system lenses but they won’t meter in the lower end Nikons, a feature that every other company offers. I upgraded...to a Canon.
- Usual Nikon bashing by Canon wannabees - but watch all their heads turn when it fires a couple dozen frames at 9 frame per second.
Of course, then there is the Nikon glass - best colors in the world.
