It's time for me to get a new camera body. I bought a Nikon D40 five years ago and have outgrown it. Right now I'm leaning towards the D700.
I've been looking at different sites to buy used like Adorama, Ebay, and amazon, as well as classifieds like craigslist, or other forum users advertising their camera for sale on different forums.
I've seen D3's advertised at or around $2,000. All things being equal, I would take a used D3 over a brand new D700 in a heartbeat.
I guess it just sounds to good to be true. Does anyone have experience or advice on the subject?
I'd hate to send a check for 2 grand to some guy on Craigslist in exchange for "his word" that he'll mail me a camera. However, if it's safe I'd love to make use of those savings.
Thoughts?
