Left my house on 11/30; still nowhere in sight -- apparently still in Germany. Refurb Nikon D80, 90 day Nikon warranty, but 1 year Cameta (sends to Nikon USA) warranty. Developed several bright pixels. Sent back to Cameta Jan 4th, coming back via UPS tomorrow. I have bought several items from them over the years and would recommend them. So, their service may not be 100% perfect, but certainly more speedy than Leica...
