PS..haven't found one yet.
I look first for refurbished. Try
. 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).
