the pictures are nice. Everyone has me second guessing the used camera so I think I will go to my local camera store and purchase a new one making sure it us made in US and has warranty. I would rather wisely spend 1200.00 than blow 900.00.

What is Mircofocus adjustment?

ConnieLynn

it's fine tune focus on the Nikon. it allows you to do a fine adjustment on your focus to make sure your camera is truly looking in the spot of your focal point. you really only need to do this on your lens that have a 1.8 or 2.8 aperture.

Thank you I have Nikon 50 mm 1.8, and a Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, so are you saying make sure your [ ] is exactly on the subject?

You are one smart lady. My daughter...same name. She is smart too and she get's it from me. :roll: You may want to check refurbs from B&H, Adorama, Cameta, Keh.

Not exactly correct. ANY lens can be out of tune with the cameras AF sensor. All lenses should at least be checked, and then adjusted if deemed necessary to bring the lens into proper tune to the camera. MOST especially long telephoto lenses because of the inherently shallow depth of field they provide. Even minor front focus, or back focus issues can make a huge difference in the lenses ability to provide accurate autofocus results. AF Fine Tune requirements have nothing at all to do with the lenses maximum aperture.

I just did a search here in Uglyhedgehog and there is a long list of discussion on this topic. I would read some of them, some have links on how to do it. What you are doing is adjusting your focus spot in your menu setting.Some show using a paper scale that you can print from suggested websites but I use a yard ruler. Works really well. After you read or watch a tutorial on this you will understand better than I can explain it

I upgraded from a D7000 to the D7200. I got a grey market version for around $800, body only. It works fine. It didn't include the paper manual, but came with a 200 page "Menu Guide". I downloaded the full manual as a PDF without any issues.
I like that the 7200 includes a built in intervalometer, I was using an external one that was a pain.
The built in HDR function is nice, but I find that unless you use a tripod, the results are often blurry.
It has "Scene" and "Effects" on the main Control knob that the 7000 didn't have. They are fun, a lot like a point and shoot.
My biggest watchout is software. No support for Raw files in LR 5.7 or my version of DXO. Plan on spending ~$300 to update your software to the latest versions!

I always buy my cameras from a local authorized Nikon dealer. I get the same price as B&H with an additional understanding that I wait a month to register, if I am displeased in any way, I return it to them provided it is in the same condition as it was when I walked out of the store with it a month earlier. You just can't beat that service.

I won't buy it as my D7000 does everything I ask of it.

Check the Nikon website first. They have been running sales lately.

Its the highest rated crop sensor camera ever manufactured and its a semi-pro body design that's weather sealed. It has been on the market long enough for used copies to be available, but be sure to get a shutter count before buying used in ANY condition so you have an idea of the "mileage" on the camera.

I concur.
