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?

That sucks. I'm guessing 1 person in 50 even knows that you can check those things. I guess they thought you'd be one of the 49 that had no clue.
Although, they should have at least cleaned off the fingerprints if they were going to do something so blatantly stupid.

I've bough stuff that was refurbished that the store didnt know was refurbished, because it was done at the factory. At least it sounds like the store is taking care of you so really thats cool, sounds more like its an inconvienience than anything else.
But yeh it does bug me when shit like that happens, it has only happened twice, both times at best buy, once with a digital picture frame that came pre loaded with some dudes pictures, and once with a computer game that came with save data already written on the disk (3.5" floppy disk, it was a few years ago). Plus who knows how many other times I have bought stuff and just didnt know about it yet

Or, someone bought it, played with it, then his wife found out he spent all HER shopping budget and freaked out. He then bundles it back up and tricks the store into thinking he never opened it.
That happened to me with a lawnmower once, some assembly required... completely sealed box. Opened it and there was grass in the deck. I took it back, they gave me an assembled one. |

Also a possibility, azoomm. Some people are real dicks and 'evaluate' a new toy, for a couple of weeks, before deciding that they really didn't want it anyway. Or just wanted a toy for a couple of weeks, knowing that they'd be bringing it back. For a brand new model though, 1600 shots is a bit steep. I'd put that on a body, over the course of a weekend at the track, but damned few regular users would.

I would agree, if it weren't for those 250+ times that it was turned on and off.
