RIP :(
I got my 18-105 as a refurbished. It works great and I can see no signs of it being used at all. I think it was a store's demo model.

A factory refurb has been checked over the the Quality Assurance team not just once, but twice.You can also think about it this way. When you buy a new camera, you're buying something that hasn't been tested in the real world yet... with a refurb, it's problem has already been discovered... and fixed. That's partly tongue-in-cheek, but just partly.

That is good to know! My only thing is the warranty. I saw that adorama offers 90 days I believe. I've never had a camera worked on so Idk how much that kind of stuff costs out of warranty.

That's a valid concern... The warranty on refurbs TENDS to be 90 days. I'm sure there are exceptions, however.That is good to know! My only thing is the warranty. I saw that adorama offers 90 days I believe. I've never had a camera worked on so Idk how much that kind of stuff costs out of warranty.
I am looking into possibly buying a D7100 within the next few weeks and wondering where to buy it.
Amazon wants around $1100 for just the body where as other websites have them for as low as around $750 and they say it is new. My only concern is that they may not be new or may be grey market. The only local camera store to me is Mikes Camera and they want my future children for it.
Anyone know why there is such a big price difference with them? I am looking to get it with preferably the 18-140 but possibly would go for the 18-105 as I have heard they are both good lenses.
TIA

Hey Tyler! Saw your quote of my car in the best of 7100 thread.. Don't hesitate picking up the camera, it's awesome. Worth every penny if you get out there and are passionate about shooting.
Let's see the car! Are you on QW/AZ?
Also, I'd recommend B&H
Just be sure it is a Manufacturer refurbished body and not a third party refurb. Should be clearly statedI'm pretty decided on getting a refurb unit and cannot wait!
I'm on AZ as Tyler S4 I don't have any pictures on my phone right now but check out the last few pages on the santorin thread I have a few shots in there. I believe most if not all were shot with my 3100 with the 18-55 kit lens. I may have shot some with my 50mm 1.8g.

Maybe the Universe is trying to tell you to stop buying refurbs?I sent 2 refurbs back with problems so much for not once but twice. "CAVEAT EMPTOR"
I'm contemplating the 7100 also. Let us know who you buy from and how much you wind up paying. I'm curious.
Thanks.
All the camera stores around here all mikes camera there are a few of them around denver. There is another one called like denver pro photo or something like that but I've heard that certain mikes cameras are better. I guess a few years back there were a whole bunch of camera stores around here.
Okay so sounds like I'm staying away from the too good to be true and non reputable sellers. Thanks for the heads up guys! I knew there had to be something up with it.
I saw that adorama has a refurbished d7100 for 929 which sounds pretty good but I'm kinda skeptical on buying reburb. At least with spending that kind of money where I could get a new one for a little more. However most things on the site I have read with peoples experiences with nikon refurbished stuff have been very good.
Thanks, Tyler. I think I might try my local camera shop as well, just to see what they'll offer as a competitive rate to what I can find online.
In the past though my experience has been that they can't compete. They cite having to pay rent, utilities, etc, etc... They usually offer to throw in a few extras for "free." The only problem is that I don't need what they're offering: a bag or a kit lens or a strap. What I need is a spare battery; they don't offer that.
Thanks for responding.
