When reputable dealers say "body only", they mean body with no lens. When the scamers say "body only", that may mean no battery, cords or manual. Adorama is a good dealer with 30 day return policy for any reason.

Got one from Adorama yesterday. Has battery, charger and all with it. And only 29 shutter actuations. 90 day warranty.
Thanks for letting me know. That's a good deal.

I just purchased the d610 upgrading from my D7000. The image quality is noticeable. I did have to buy a new walk around lens but my 70-200 and 150-600 work are already full frame.

Ever since the Nikon D7200 came out, I first thought that the Nikon D7100 would be available at a good price. Due to the fact that the differentiation between the two cameras is not that great, Nikon D7100's price drop did not occur and the camera maintained above a above average price. I just ordered the refurbished Nikon D7100 from Adorama for $499, which is $100 to $125 less than Adorama and B&H Photo were selling the refurbished camera for previously.

Don't know of any retailer that will pull the info from the camera. You have to rely on their return policy. If the number is to high, return it.

Oh, and wrapped manual(s) and front and back lens caps. Just like new but just a white box instead of the Nikon box with the pretty pictures. (-:
Got one today from Cameta with 54 activations. $499

Adorama is selling a refurbished D7100 for $499 today. I just bought another one. At that price it was too tempting!!! Always had good service from that camera and from Adorama. Another thought, a camera with 43,000 shots on it still has well over 100,000 shots remaining in its lifetime. That's quite a few even for a pro! By the time it's done you can buy a newer refurbished camera; maybe a D7200 or newer. Be sure to give it a good test run for the first 29 days and see if it's a worthwhile investment for you. Hope this helps!

Yes. Refurbished means clean and repair of any defects. I'm sure they do nothing to operable parts that meet specifications.
All my Nikon refurbs have had zero or very low shutter counts.

This is correct. If the shutter is working correctly, it is not dealt with.
And as stated earlier, yes, 1/3 of the usable shutter life is gone. But this is a statistical thing. Some will fail a bit early and some will go far past the number of estimated shutter activations. Only problem is that you don't know which you have until you get there.

True, but that's where you consider the Model's history and track record to help make a decision. If you don't believe the camera is worth the chance, return it and order another one. If you still don't believe it's a good idea, purchase a new camera. At this time it's a buyer's market and it's a buyer's choice! Whether new, used or refurbished, the choices are there for everyone's pocketbook. Now, to make the decision!!!

I get my Nikon refurbs from Nikon. They work well enough that I do not need to worry about shutter actuations, or the like. The items serve me long enough, and well enough, to be worth what they cost me.

I just received my D7100 from Adorama, and as normal, the refurbished model looks completely new. Checked the shutter count and it has 934, so I am very happy with that.
As noted early in this thread, the first one I ordered had almost 43,000 shutter counts, so I wasn't too happy with that one. Fortunately, I was able to return it to Cameta for a full refund.
