The Pro-Body is submitted to various food splashes and then completely soaked with water… Lot’s of it ! Of course, after all this, the camera of should I call it “The Tank” works perfectly. Very impressive Nikon engineering.

More interesting is the date listed next to each product, after which the product can no longer be registered with NPS. The speculation is that with a little bit of imagination, you could use this list to get an idea of what will be replaced when. Some products are already close to their “end-of-NPS-life-status”: AF-S DX 12-24/4G, AF 14 f/2.8D, TC-14E ​​II. Here is the full list:
