Used passing as new

Papa_Complex · 01-28-2011, 08:06 AM

I just bought a new DSLR body and, wouldn't you know it, but someone else had had it before me. The camera had fingerprints all over the rear screen and, when I checked the camera's "hidden menus", I found that the shutter button had been hit more than 1600 times and the camera had been turned on more than 250 times.

The shop is bringing in a replacement for me, and had apologized profusely for the 'error.' I'm off work next week though, so I'll have to take a special trip in to pick up the replacement.

So who wants to vent about getting a used product, when you bought something new?
