Hi Gang -
Through a ferocious dint of self denial, I've finally saved up enough to purchase a used D500.
I've been scouring the various sites for the past week or so. Then a couple of days ago the local shop I used to do business with pre-COVID listed a like-new D500 for a price better than comparable shutter count units offered at MPB, etc. (~35,000 clicks.)
One good thing about dealing with a shop: the camera is currently at their Philadelphia outlet, but they're shipping it to my local store so I can check it over in person first, rather than buying it sight unseen. It will arrive any time between tomorrow and Wednesday, they said.
I know there are a lot of knowledgeable D500 owners here who know this thing like the back of their hand. Can any of you tell me if there's anything specific I should check, or look out for? Any known issues I need to ask about before plunking down my cash?
Thanks very much!
