Really lucky purchase - I just bought these 4 cameras for $450.
Nikon D1 - can't test it because I don't have a CF card less than 4 gig
Turns on, came with two batteries and charger, all 4 bodies came with two batteries and a charger each.
D1X - also can't check shutter count until I have a 2 gig CF card or smaller. Also powers up.
D3 with 325000 actuations, described as having a "flakey screen" because evey now and then the screen flickers and goes red for a second. It has happened once in about an hour's worth of shooting.
Nikon D3 with 38k on the shutter, in pretty good condition. Came with 4 X 4 gig CF cards. Also came in original box with local warranty slip.
Now my dilemma - someone has offered me a gripped D5200 with kit lens, two batteries plus an f60 and 3 rolls of film
and $150 cash my way for the 'flakey' D3. I also have two people interested in buying the D1X for $175. This just about covers the whole purchase price of all 4 bodies - plus maybe $100 for the D1 for a collector.
So do I keep the good D3? I mean it seems like an amazing camera but I can't really see that much difference at iso 6400 to my D7200 though I've only zoomed in on the display. I already have two D7200 bodies and like my dx lenses - AND they have dust reduction
The other option is to get perhaps a decent price for the good D3 and use the 'flakey' one since I'm not that into full frame.
Opinions?
