[QUOTE="D200freak, post: 506512, member: 41018"] I just bought one. looking forward to getting it. I had an experienced camera tech, familiar with the D800 focus issues and recall, check the camera out to be sure that it doesn't suffer from that issue. It's fine. My only concern is that its shutter count is around 103K. Fortunately, I can get a new shutter assembly for under 50 dollars and I am quite capable of doing the shutter assembly replacement myself. I am a very well experienced electronics technician and I also work on mechanical wristwatches for fun, so there's no part of shutter replacement that would perturb me. I'll probably swap out the shutter on my highest mileage D200 (130K clicks or so) just for the practice and the experience of it. Then sell that camera, being able to honestly say it has a new shutter. [/QUOTE]
