[QUOTE="bluzman, post: 765275, member: 47800"] In early April, I posted here that I'd acquired a refurbished D3500/AF-P 18-55m VR lens kit. It was the result of a Nikon Refurbished Camera Sale that had a 10% discount on top of the refurbished price. I've particularly enjoyed how lightweight it is compared to my D7500 and D750 cameras and how good the images are that it produces. Fact is, I've done a lot more shooting with this "entry level" camera than I thought I would. All of this got me thinking that it would be nice to have a similarly sized DX body but with a fully articulated touch screen and more focus points even if it weighed a bit more. Wait a minute, I thought...you once owned that camera. The very first DSLR I bought was a refurbished D5600. I sold it a year later along with several lenses to help fund my D750/24-120mm f4 kit. Long story short, I was able to trade my D3500 (body only, I kept the lens) for a lightly used (~ 4,800 shutter count) D5600 on MPB.com. The trade in value was essentially equal to what I paid for the D3500 less the cost of the kit lens. I ponied up the dollar difference to complete the deal this morning and this afternoon I got the tracking number for the shipment. Free delivery is scheduled to be not later than next Friday.
