Had my D750 for years purchased new, shutter count is about 70k. I used it almost daily for real estate photography and weekends for wildlife and landscapes, mostly daylight but sometimes low light as well. In the middle of a job my auto focus quit working and the lens became stuck on the camera. I shipped it to Nikon Service but it'll be a week or more until I get a repair quote from them. I am going on vacation in less than 2 weeks as well. So maybe fixing my camera is affordable and worth it vs buying a new camera, well there's a small chance I'll get it back before I leave for vacation. So I'm thinking about buying a used or refurbished camera and then using my broken one as a backup after it's fixed (if it's worth the cost). My current backup which i never use is a crop sensor D5200.
So my question would be should i look at a used/refurbished D750, D780 or D850? I am on a budget, didn't expect to have to buy another camera for some time. Best bang for my buck out of these 3 and should i go used/refurbished or new?
