Re: Photography Thread
I have yet to finish charging the battery so I can find out the shutter count on this
D700, but I did get to see just how bashed up a G-rated D700 looks. "Good"...not Very good.
This thing has been beaten to death, the first time I have SEEN such an abused camera
from them, so now I know how the other half lives. I think when you are paying over a
thousand dollars for a camera, you should TRY to factor in the spare 3-400 bucks it would
take to never have to SEE this kind of abuse. But there is a part of me that KNOWS that
abuse marks like this are NO MORE useful in determining how much a camera was used
before it was sold off. There are people, and I have said this before, who will use the
last ounce a camera has to give and still sell it for top dollar cause they were simply more
CAREFUL in the way they used it up. So without further ado, I need to stick a card in this pup
and see how bad it is. Hell, this person used the camera so hard that most of the buttons
can't even be read anymore. I had to look at a pic online to see what the hell was where.
Luckily by now most of them are second nature for me.
