“We Since it's launch in in October
2012, Nikon has increased its distribution of warrantied goods across
all
market segments. It has also set up a service centre on the ground to
provide
much needed support to Nikon users, including professional
photographers, who
have been craving additional maintenance services and resources from the
company.

While addressing the crowd,
Joe McNally – an elite member of Nikon Professional Services (NPS) –
remarked
on the durability and reliability of Nikon cameras and discussed the
benefits
of Nikon’s support structure. NPS is a Nikon-led organization for
qualified,
full-time professional photographers who earn their living using Nikon
equipment.
It provides members with advice, assistance and educational sessions on
various
photography-related topics.
McNally has been shooting for
the National Geographic Society since 1987 and his works are valued
across a
number of well-recognized publications including Sports Illustrated,
Times,
Newsweek, Geo, and Fortune. He explained
that as a photographer for the National Geographic he puts his cameras
and
equipment through very harsh conditions and Nikon has continuously
performed
throughout his career.
Local photographer Kelechi
Amadi Obi echoed his sentiments and commended the company for
establishing a
presence in Nigeria. With 24 years of experience under his belt, Kelechi
Amadi
Obi has braved through many years of scrutiny, where photography was
frowned
upon as a profession and through it all, taught himself the art of the
business, making him an inspirational role model to many others who are
aspiring to succeed in this trade.
Nikon’s current range of
product offerings in Nigeria is the strongest yet. During the event,
attendees
had a chance to learn tips and tricks about the flagship model D4, the
full

the
D7100.
