well it arrived this morning , the camera exterior condition doesn't look look like a high shutter count model i.e no paint rubbing ,no chips ,no scratches etc hard to distinguish from a new camera in fact the , fully boxed with charger 2 original batteries, manuals and and lots of ancillary bits and bobs , .thats the pros . now the cons high shutter count 350,000 ?? that doesn't go with condition though .. very dusty previous owner stated it had been a back up for 3 to 4 years , , a very dusty eyepiece which I have since dismantled and cleaned its now sparkling .. and the last hurdle the sensor itself was extremely grubby . I have done a partial wet clean on the sensor I only had two swabs though and they were APS-H sized. anyway its removed I would say around 90% of the crap but now need to buy some more to finish it properly . so for £390 is it a keeper or do I return it . lovely to use and focus to die for managed a couple of pics in the rain today so I can see the potential .. ?????

Looks good Jeff. I would keep at that price. Only better item for that price would be a D3X. What are the two birds in the top image. Rooks, crows,?.... I think they are rooks but dont know. I have many of these around me in Cornwall.

Replacement shutter will be expensive. Make sure you are sitting down when you read the estimate. Thanks for the Jackdaws info.  Now I know what I am looking at.

What I can't get my head around is the body is totally unmarked ,I have seen other high shutter count cameras that have virtually no black paint left ,as I said before this one is totally unmarked not even a scratch ,I.e showroom condition the exterior doesn't match the interior , unless it's been used tethered on a tripod .. ?? I still have the D7200 as well more mp more reach (allegedly ) .

Congratulations on getting your 'new' camera. I was offered a similar deal on a D3s last year, not quite so high shutter count but nearly. The price was much higher than yours, else I might have been more tempted. It had been a studio camera from a London studio. The camera never leaves it's tripod from the start to the end of it's life. Body was immaculate, I have seen several of these immaculate high shutter count cameras, the last being a D800 with about 280,000 clicks. I have some 'spare' 4 Gb cards but use them as backup and for the smaller D200 IR and wide spectrum bodies. Get a couple of 32Gb CF's, they are getting cheaper now.

Some professionals/people cover the camera in gaffer tape which protects the paint, etc. Then when they come to trade in, they strip the tape and the camera looks pristine!
