While looking at Maxwell's site, Leigh noticed that, with respect to Nikon products, there seems to be a new redirection in place.

Consider this partial result from a Whois query

Result for: nikon.com.au

Domain Name: nikon.com.au

Last Modified: 20-Aug-2003 03

Registrar ID: R00010-AR

Registrar Name: Melbourne IT

Status: OK

Registrant: NIKON PHOTO-IMAGING AUSTRALIA

Perhaps it's for NPS, and that site is never up since it's announced.

It is now. Maxwells are redirecting product queries to this very Nikon-looking site.

New CEO + new direction, take people away of flaming and bashing Maxwell,
This tactic will make Nikon shoulders all the blame not Maxwell.
And Nikon Japan could not read/ speak English well! :shock:
That why I posted few days ago:
I'm learning, chanting and praying in Japanese!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Nikon looking site has been there for a few months - I first noticed it when the EN-EL3 battery recall was happening. Additionally http://www.nikon.com.au has always redirected to the Maxwell site in the past so this is probably only a minor change.
