I tend to benchmark the price of a used package vs a good deal on new, where the worries of what might be wrong with it are gone. How demanding are your photographic needs? Do you plan on doing other types of photography? I'm not up on the latest best forums for good advice, but I would expect this one would be good:

Steve, I need to take very high res close up pics of nuts and bolts, and also close-ups of finished work, especially anodizing and chrome.
I had an old Lumix LX3. Took perfect pics but was lost in my car accident and 10.1MP was never really enough.
Have an LX5 which takes worse pics than the 3 ever did and after getting cooking oil in the view screen, it was time to get a new camera though it still works. Foolishly bought a Canon G9X which got rave reviews and I'm sure if you are out and about it takes good pics. It can't focus at all on close-up details. It is worthless so I'll keep it for a travel camera.
Researching product photography, the D7200 came up on a few lists. I need good overhead shots of hardware laid out on a table and then sectional pics and then close-up fine detail pics of something as trivial as a bolt head. And then chrome and anodizing detail pics as well.
