Refurbished Nikon D7200 with 3038 shutter actuations

<p>Hi,<br>

I bought a refurbished Nikon d7200 directly from nikonusa.com. It came with 3038 shutter actuations. Is it too much on a d7200? <br>

I ordered a refurbished because of the shutter counts I read about ~20 to a few hundreds. But a 3038 has me slightly worried.</p>

<p>Nikon did appropriate adjustments and gave you a decent price....I mean even if you had 20K actuations, you still have plenty spunk left in this rig. Go out, make images and enjoy it......or resell it if it really bothers you.</p>

<p>Refurbished meant it has been sold (even though some were not been sold) and the person who first bought the camera could take that many shots in the course of a few days before returning to the dealer. I wouldn't worry about it besides that many actuations doesn't mean that your camera will fail before one with no actuation.</p>

<p>Hi, new here. There was a fellow on You Tube who shot 8,000 frames in a 10 day trip to Denali. Personally, I shoot a couple of hundred frames on each birding shoot. Lightroom now has slightly more than 10,000 keepers. I would guess five times that many were tossed. So, 3038 actuations is just getting it warmed up.</p>

<p>Actually, I would probably feel better if my refurb showed that. What I mean is that I also bought a D7200 refurb (from a vendor, not Nikon direct), and it showed 2 shutter actuations. I doubt very seriously this was the case, so probably had been reset by Nikon during the refurb process. This means I really have no clue how many actuations it actually had.<br>

<br /> That said, like already noted, enjoy your camera. It's a good one, and I am definitely enjoying mine. :-)</p>

<p>Shutter actuations on refurbished DSLR bodies can vary widely, from maybe a few actuations to 20K, 30K. 3038 is certainly nowhere near excessive. The D7200 is rated to 150K actuations. You are talking about merely 2% of the expected lifespan.</p>

<p>Once I have captured as many as 2000 images within an hour.</p>

<p>What is more important is whether everything is working properly in that refurbished D7200. I would test it thoroughly. Personally, I have had some very bad experience with refurbished Nikon lenses.</p>

<p>Had I returned my refurbished D7200 within the 30-day period, then the shutter count that was initially at about 250 would have risen to some 7500; 3038 was reached within a week of receiving the camera.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Thank you all for your comments!! The camera is working good so far!!</p>

<p>I know some people who shoot 2,000 images at a single wedding. Don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Same here. No more refurbished for me. I would much rather buy used than refurbished. </p>

<p>I've topped 3000, and that was as a guest...</p>

<p>I bought one Nikon refurb, a D7000, that obviously missed the QA cycle. Tons of dust all over the sensor, and it had high actuations to boot. I sent it back via Roberts camera, and they replaced it with a different D7000. That one was spotless and had less than 200 actuations. If you're unhappy with the camera for any reason other than the actuations, send it back. A refurb should be nearly new in all ways.</p>

<p>134 clicks on mine (from BuyDig). Looks new.</p>

<p>KP, 3038 is nothing. Enjoy your camera. I'm using a D7200, it's a great camera.</p>
