Refurbished D810 from Adorama
Aug 18, 2017 17:26:20 #
Hi all,
You have been generous in your advice on whether to buy a Nikon D810 or D750, and then helped me understand more about buying refurbished. As I posted earlier, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a D810 from Adorama. It arrived today, and when I unwrapped it, the camera looked brand new. I did a shutter count on the first image I shot, and it was 22. Again, thank everyone who responded to help me get to this point, and thank you Adorama for a very low shutter count refurbished camera. Now I have a learning curve to really get to know this camera.

It takes a bit of learning but in the end it pays off. The 810 is an outstanding camera!

Thanks. Fortunately, I already have some good glass, because I have been buying FX lenses even though I had a DX camera. I have the Tokina 24-70 f2.8, the Tokina 70-200 f4, the Nikon 85mm f2.8, the Nikon 105mm f2.8 macro and the Nikon 300mm f4. Several years ago when I got seriously into photography, a friend told me to buy good glass rather than new bodies, because bodies come and go but good glass is forever. Now I have a great body, need to see how this new body treats this glass.

You may be surprised I also have the 300mm f4 prime but it ain't on the list my 55mm 1.2 very fast , not on the list my 180 mm 2.8 nada. My 24 -120 mm not on the list neither model. Doesn't mean I don't use them oh and 20 mm 2.8 afd not on list. All great sharp glass . But 36 megs apparently they have a short list , so I'm looking 14-24 mm 2.8 monster on the list 16- 35 f4 vr barely on the list . Haven't decided between the 2 but leaning to the 14-24 If I can find a reasonable used . stay away from the 17-35 2.8 If it sequels even if it is now and again Nikon repair says the focus motor is going soon 525.00 to fix I called.Hogan recommends the 200-500mm 5.6 vr.So I am keeping my 300 prime My 55 1.2 and my 20 2.8 till I can replace. The 20 seems alright but a little soft in corners to f8 makes in tough in stitching.The 300 and 55 still seem sharp enough. Can't wait till Christmas . Probably the wide first. All mine are nikkor and neither Thom or Nikon recommends anything but Nikon and Zeiss of course.Thanks.

Well as an Amateur, my very first question would be, "Why is such a new expensive camera refurbished"?
