Do camera companies really honor their warranty?

Question

Under warranty my ex took her camera back to store where she purchased it. The manfunction was the flash. After almost 8 weeks store said her camera was in transit from Kodak.
I told her for any company to really make it right they should extend the warranty 8 more weeks. I know I'm not wrong to expect that. But would they? After all these companies say warranty is 1 year; not 1 year minus repair time.

Answer 1

The camera is warranteed for 1 year; the repair may be warranteed for a separate period. As long as the other parts don't break within that year, why should you get an extension?

I would find out what the warranty would be for just the repair to the flash.

I could see a warranty extension just because you'd been deprived of the use of the camera due to a defect (just as a matter of goodwill), but other than that, there's no inherent reason to extend the warranty.

Answer 2

The fotoace is about as accurate as accurate could be, you need to contact Kodak about extending your warranty.
