Nikon D800e rattle

Ted Evans · Mar 30, 2015

Just received a D800e off of Ebay that has less than 400 clicks and not a mark on it anywhere. It was packaged just as coming from Nikon. The only things open were the camera, battery and charger. However, when I roll the camera back and forth, there is a rattle coming from inside. Everything seems to function correctly, that I have checked but the noise bothers me. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks for the suggestion DarkShadow, I can hear a faint noise when the flash is up but I have to listen very closely so apparently, that is where it is coming from. I have also sent Nikon a question and will see what they have to say about it. It is not so noticeable that I would bother sending it in if it is not going to be a problem. It looks like a brand new camera and less than 400 clicks.
