I called to price a Nikon D810 body and was told I might not be able to get information because it was almost Passover and everyone had gone for the day (it was around 3 pm). I asked about the shutter count on a used demo camera in inventory (demo is their best rating) and when I hesitated over the price for the 20,000+ count body, the agent said he had a better deal with a much lower shutter count. While I did not ask about the used rating on this camera, I assumed that because I specified I wanted a camera in great shape, that s what the agent was recommending. I paid, waited the nearly 2 weeks for processing time due to the company closure, and opened the box to find a $1500 camera body that literally had parts SUPERGLUED back onto it, silver showing on the body from wear, and buttons so worn you can t see their functions anymore. I will shoot two commercial jobs this weekend with a single camera body because this one is in such bad shape there s no way I m keeping it. I m surprised a company would even accept this camera, much less send it out to a customer calling about buying a camera in great shape. Really disappointed and pretty highly inconvenienced.
