DAMMIT! Why is trying to stick with what you say SO DAMN HARD!
Not only is the D700 NOT under 40k, its not under 50k, 60k, even 70k!
Now it comes down to REALLY thinking about this practically. I know from reading, and of course, Justin, that the D700
has supposedly been designed to operate to 150,000 actuations, and half of that is a pretty reasonable gauge on whether
or not to keep it. But what about 83,160? Its closer to 75k than 150k. But it IS WAY OVER the halfway mark.
Now do I send it back and try to think a little more about the wisdom of buying a used D700 at the very bottom of the entry price?
Or do I admit that I got it at it's lowest price point and I should be happy it still shoots for what I paid? Its a tough call.
There is no guarantee that buying a E or a E- will get me any fewer actuations. That's what makes it tougher. If I bought
one off of Amazon, I could cherry pick a shutter count, but those are all 1500-1800 bucks. I paid 1150 for this one.

Scattershooting amazon, $1350 for 117,800....$1539 for 115,000.........$1700 for 58,000........$1720 for 40,000........its only
at about $2000 that you start getting below 40,000 clicks. So I guess I am KIND OF lucky on this one, but its still too high
to sit well with me. I guess I need to STFU and shoot it.
