I may be wrong but armed with the serial number alone any subsequent owner would not be able to access any of the registered person's details? That isn't the case if you have entered information into the camera itself, I tried a D3 a while back which turned out to be faulty, the PO's full details were embedded in the EXIF of my trial images; I was able to contact him and ask him about the camera's history. The PO was very helpful and gave me details of the history and the fault. I agree it's good practice to de-register any disposed of equipment if only to facilitate the new owner's need to register. |

Thanks for the heads up! I would not have thought of that issue, for warned and all that. :thumbsup: Ed One wonders why we here in the US vote for only two people for president, but 50 for Miss America. Humm! |

That may be true for general public but as Nikon have shown by emailing Jeff the link to the registered owner is still there....and an unecessary complication that potentially could cause issues. Ok ....maybe a bit far fetched.....what it the camera was found near/at a crime scene? |

This includes any secondhand stuff that I buy e.g. 50mm f1.2 MF lens. |

Not that far fetched, about 3 weeks ago the police phoned me late in the evening and enquired about the wareabouts of my pickup truck. Apparently they had a partial plate of one fleeing a crime a short time befor and mine matched, colour etc. I explained that it had been parked outside all evening and also that there was a piano, that I had purchased at an auction earlier in the day, on the truck. They did send a car by to confirm, and that was the last of it. Good thing it wasn't a piano that had been stolen.  |

Not far fetched, although I've never thought about de-registering my Nikons before... I sold my van and it was used in a hit and run. That was an interesting conversation with CID |
