But, just like cars, you can have a car with 200,000 miles that has been well cared for and will continue to run for years, others with 75,000 miles are beat.
I agree. My d70 went 250,000. My d7000 stopped going 'click' at 280,000. Still have a d7000 with 60,000 and a d800 with 120,000.

I found theres lots of cameras for sale that are indistinguishable from new. I buy them and ride them hard and paint is worn off before they eventually die. I wouldnt buy one of my bodies.

Ive alwayed tried out used gear before buying it.
