Wildlife Photography across the Water: Service and repair

Service and repair

I mentioned a 2 weeks ago that my D7000 had gone back to Nikon for repair, The dial on the back that allows you to scroll up and down images and the menu only worked in the down direction, No big deal but a bit of a pain and whilst its under guarantee then why not get it fixed, My Sigma 180mm macro also went back to Sigma as it did not work at all with the D7000
Last Friday i received a mail from Nikon stating that they received the D7000 and sent a link so that i could see where it was and what was going to happen to it, Today (Tuesday) i see that its been shipped-once again excellent and professional service from Nikon, They have been THE best camera gear company i have ever dealt with by far
Now whats with Sigma? No confirmation of receipt of the lens or anything regarding repair/costs etc

That sounds like my experience with Sigma, took them 4 weeks to sort a lens out.
Hope you get the lens back soon Dave.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
