Is a Nikon Refurbished camera worth it?

Stick a piece of Gray Tape over the 7500 Compartment opening, and enjoy your camera.

You can order new battery doors from Nikon for a few $$$, I carry a spare for my D850 & D500

I recently purchased a Nikon P1000 refurbished. I will only buy refurbished equipment refurbished by the factory. I find the equipment as good as new and a couple of hundred dollars cheaper.

I have always purchased lenses that have a high condition rating from reliable sources like Adorable, KEH etc and I have had no issues. I have a couple of camera bodies that had high condition ratings and appropriate shutter counts without any issues. So far I have either been lucky or the condition ratings are pretty spot on.
I would do it again. I will be in the market next year for an EOS-R6 but if I can save even a few hundred dollars it is worth it.

Refurb items from Nikon are just fine. They go over them with great detail before selling them to the public.
As for the battery door, it's a simple replacement. You can get a door off of ebay if needed and it just snaps on. I picked up one for my D300s awhile back and it's worked out fine. Check them out here:

That happens and the best replacement can be found on Amazon.

I lost one a few years back and was able to order for a few bucks ($8.99 Amazon prime) and easy to install.
Since then I’ve double checked latching and haven’t lost another.
I have been very satisfied with Nikon refurbs. Your loss had nothing to do with camera being refurb.

I bought my D750 factory refurbished in 2017 and it has been great. Had it refurbished a second time after I took a fall and it was damaged. The second time was like new when I got it back.
