I've been thinking about upgrading my photo setup. Since early 2009, I've been shooting a D200 -- got a great deal on the body, right around the time the D300 came out. But I'm thinking that maybe it's time to upgrade.
We have a D7200 at work, and I've been fairly amazed that it seems to take better photos than my D200. But I kind of think that if I'm going to buy a different camera, it might be time to go full frame.
One of the guys on the Kokopelli Run suggested that I look at buying a used D700 from eBay. I'm not sure about this. I'd hate to buy it and then have to send it in for repair. But I do think that a D700 would be a significant upgrade over what I have now, and there are bodies available for under $1K. A new 750 is almost $2K.
Anyone have experience buying used?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
