Nikon claims that some of the fraudulently modified cameras are sold in the market as D800, D7100 and D4.
It's really impossible to know the authenticity by just looking at the design.
Nikon warns to double check the device is the real deal to its buyers who buys their Nikon DSLR through an online auction site or similar.
On Tuesday, Nikon said it’s now coming across D7100 DSLRs, which cost in the region of $1000 for the body only, that have been modified to look like the D610 shooter, which retails for $500 more.
D4 cameras fraudulently modified to make them look like D4S cameras
D800 cameras fraudulently modified to make them look like D800E cameras
Final word is just be careful you guys when buying any Nikon DSLR cameras from any online store and if you are going to buy or if you have already bought then check if it is a authentic or not.
