a new model so anyone know about how many activations will a typical refurbed D500 have out of the box & how much does the # of activations matter?Īll input fm those who got a refurbed D500 & checked on the shutter count purchase & can relate how well that shutter still performs after x-amount of more activations will be greately appreciated. I heard replacing a shutter costs like $300 & you only save abt that amount on a refurbed vs. But what constitutes that need?ĭoes the need for replacement depend on a certain pre-determined # of activations or is it based on continued smooth, reliable functionality? & in general, what would be the signs that a shutter needs to be replaced (for my D300s)?Īnybody have experience w/a refurbed D500 & shuttter performance/reliability one way or the other- after X-amount of activations?Ī shutter should work w/150K activations, but since it is rated 200K activations how optimally/reliably will it work, & when/how does it show signs of wearing out? I heard fm a reliable source that Nikon will replace a shutter during refurb process _only_ when it.
SHUTTERCOUNT ON REFURBISH NIKON ADORAMA ISO
Certain functions aren't as rock solid as b4 & technically speaking it's a bit of a dinosaur, resoultion & ISO range, low light noise, sensor, AF. It is at least 15 days.I was happy w/the performance of a refurbed D300s, but it's time to upgrade. ( show quote)īoth companies have a return policy that gives you time to do a shutter count test for yourself- return it if it is too high. If you have any positive viewpoint to add to this topic, I would be glad to hear it.Thanks in advance.I am considering a refurbished Nikon D7100. Some manufacturers, notably Apple (who I seldom have a kind word for) replace consumable parts such as the case and battery, and warranty them the same as new ones.Īny advice that I just buy a new one, or "that's what you get when you buy refurbished", or similar responses are not helpful and are not appreciated.
I only bring this up because I have had GREAT luck when buying refurbs in the past. Obviously, this is a concern, especially that buying this camera for just a few hundred less than retail, might end me up with a camera that looks new, but is used up in the part that really matters. I am left with my original reservation that I may receive an "elderly" sensor, with say 100,000 actuations, that they deem still serviceable. Both said that the cameras were "NIKON, USA refurbished", notwithstanding the discrepancies in their descriptions.
Both seemed evasive, which could be attributed to possibly being junior agents who did not want to say anything wrong. B&H assured me that the camera was in "mint, like new" condition.( however, they would not be pinned down on the age of the shutter). Adorama said that the count was zeroed, B&H said that it was not. Neither would say that the shutter was replaced. I contacted both Adorama and B&H to ask this question. However, I am concerned that I may get one with a high shutter count. I am considering a refurbished Nikon D7100. I have had that question answered to my satisfaction. I only sought to clarify why the shutter count was tracked, if it was not a wear item, and if it was, what assurance we had that we had a serviceable one when we bought a refurb Believe me, you will not find a more staunch advocate of refurbs than me. Best of luck, nervous2Trader: IMHO a refurbished Nikon might actually b.
After all, a new one is going to be a used camera after your first outing. If you can get past that issue, give the refurb a shot. Having said all that, there is the value of peace of mind that comes with buying absolutely new out of the box equipment. If you get one with an inordinately high count, then send it on back. I purchased a refurb Nikon D5200 for my son that had several hundred clicks and it looked to be in perfect shape. Trader: IMHO a refurbished Nikon might actually be a safer bet than a brand new one that just came off the line without the benefit of a skilled technician having gone over it carefully from stem to stern.
