[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 629515, member: 13556"] If I were you, I'd contact the seller and get a return authorization and contact my credit card company to discuss withholding payment due to misrepresentation of the purchased item. In [U][I]no way[/I][/U] would I consider that a refurbished camera. I consider it, from the photos published here, to be a well-worn used camera. It may have had some repair work done to it, but was it by a an authorized Nikon repair shop? I don't think any of those exist any more, and do believe that all Nikon authorized repairs have to be done by Nikon. Just because a store is an authorized Nikon vendor, it doesn't mean that they can repair or refurbish a Nikon camera. My B&M store of choice for photography, still employs the technician who was once a Nikon trained repairman, as well as a Canon authorized repairman, but he won't talk about repairing either of those companies' products if they are still under warranty; for a good reason. Goo luck resolving this! WM [/QUOTE]
