However the camera is new and SHOULD have zero issues. I mean my 7D never had a single issue in 2 years!The refurbished camera doesnt have a 1 year warranty but a 90 day which would be enough to guarantee a left side focus repair if needed however during the refurbish process that might have happened already. Nikon customer support said that they dont do trade ins and that their refurbished cameras are "store display" models brought back to manufacturer specs and that they go by a strict set of rules.When I asked could I tell the difference between New and Refurb and the representative said NO not on the outside....? Meaning that if the camera took 200 store photos and then got refurbed My camera would have a 200 shutter count? Do they reset the shutter count?So here is my 2 options:Refurb 90 day warranty = $2649.00New POSSIBLY grey market = $3096.00both of these prices are total with shipping and there is no tax.What should I do?</blockquote>
