And It's been raining ever since! Anyway, one thing I have been able to do is take a flash picture and check the shutter count...I was pleasantly surprised to find out it is 447. The people at Nikonusa (refurb dept.) said they had no idea what the shutter count would be but it would "probably be" pretty low. Anyway, this answers one question I've seen on here and that is the shutter count IS NOT reset by Nikon. I've had a chance to start reading the manual which is pretty daunting but I just keep telling myself I don't have to learn everything about this camera all at once, I just have to learn about the features I want to use...the rest will come eventually. Hopefully anyway. All I have to do now is keep reading and wait for a nice day to try it out.
