I dont think i believe this

Nikon D70s, 6.1 Megapixel SLR Digital Camera (Camera Body) 25218 D70-S | eBay

Manufacturer refurbished ???

It probably is not impossible, it says it means "Manufacturer refurbished: An item that has been professionally restored to working order by a manufacturer-approved vendor. This means the product has been inspected, cleaned and repaired to meet manufacturer specifications and is in excellent condition.".

Being generous, that possibly might have happened. It does not say when? Are there better deals today? Probably yes.

I think I'd be more concerned that that seller has never sold anything and has no feed back, rather than whether that camera is manufacture refurb'ed... Nikon is certainly refurb'ing older, out-of-production cameras... I'm getting a Nikon refurb'd D300 tomorrow...

I agree. I'd have no issue with the refurb status, although I'd ask how long ago this occured.

Only dropped it in here in case any one was doing a search on the D70 as a purchase,a refurb D300 by nikon yes but i cant believe they are refurbishing D70S.

It say refurbished.... But then on the picture it says "Brand New"? lol

I can pick one of these up for NZ$150.00
Sounds like a good deal but I know nothing about the camera. would it be a good fit with my D5100 as a second body or am I better off buying glass?

Its a decent old camera if you already have one but not one necessarily to buy.

The cheap camera ime considering at is the D200
