B&H Photo was selling refurbished D7200 cameras for $789. But it appears that offer is over. I have not heard of Nikon selling extended warranty on refurbished. The extended warranty would must likely come from the camera shop that sells the camera, not Nikon USA. I would suggest you check Adorama, or Cameta Photo for availability. And don't fall prey to ridiculously lower prices like 42nd Street Photo. They are most likely gray market, and if your camera needs repair, you are SOL. Good luck.

Hi all. I am about to purchase another camera and would like to get some feedback. The path is clear, if I get new, but I am considering buying refurbished and spend the extra saved towards a lens. If I buy a Nikon refurbished camera, and since it only comes with a 90 day warranty, given that the 7200 has lots of bells and whistles, (some, like video, I may never or rarely use) what protocol can I subject the camera to that might be more likely to show me a problem? I know it seems like I'm asking you to use your crystal ball, I am just nervous about buying a camera with only 90 days. Has anyone had a problem with refurbished cameras from Nikon? I apologize I am not more clear, but I hope you all understand my concern. I don't want to be penny wise, pound foolish. Thanks in advance.

Usually, not always, but usually, if there is something wrong with a refurbished or new, it's going to happen sometime soon, well within the 90 days. That said, one never knows. Nikon, like Canon and Sony, make good stuff. Usually not a problem. Refurbished cameras are interesting, many on this site have the unrealistic view that these cameras have been comprehensively inspected by a team of experts, nothing could be further from the truth. Most refurbished have been returned by folks who just did not like them, or, have had a small glitch. That glitch has been repaired by a technician, could be an experienced technician, could be a guy on his first day, any way, the point is they fix the APPERANT problem. They do a check to see if the camera is within SPECS. They DO NOT do a comprehensive check, that costs money, but they do make sure the camera is operating within guidelines. SO, like I said, these refurbished cameras are a good value and should operate as new, if they do not, they are going to do so within the 90 day period, and most camera manufactures, if these refurbished cameras need service, will take care of you. Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

One good thing about buying refurbished is that they should be free of some of the initial problems like back focus issues or oil splatters on sensors, etc. Can't remember if it was a D7100 or D7200 that I sent in under warranty & they fixed two other things at the same time they fixed the back focus issue. I am not familiar with the Cameta warranty. I know that I am a Adorama VIP member & as such get a full 1 year warranty if I buy a Nikon refurb. But the additional 9 months is not through Nikon. Try to get the shutter count & make sure it isn't a grey market camera.
