I look first for refurbished. Try www.cametacamera.com. They have good products, good prices, and good service.

Before you consider a used camera, get a definite shutter count. There are lots of ways to do that, especially for a Nikon. Compare prices with cameras on ebay. You can do a search for items that have sold, so you'll know how much people actually paid.

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info.
Get ExifInfo - also free. Unzip and get the icon onto the Desktop. Find a photo and drag it onto the icon. A window will open with loads of info. Look down the list for Shutter Count (or whatever they call it).

Ask to see the seller's purchase invoice. This way you can identify it as legitimate import or grey market import which could affect where you can have it repaired in the future.
