I'm looking at buying a second hand Nikon D2X SLR camera. This is the first time I've bought a second hand camera before, so I'm not exactly sure what to look out for in a second hand DSLR, especially a pro camera.

This is is a link to the camera in question:
(The site is an equivalent to Ebay for New Zealand, incase you were wondering )

Nikon D2X DSLR | Trade Me

One thing that caught my attention was that the shutter count is
51,134.
I had a look around and apparently the D2X shutter is rated for 200,000 actuations. I was wondering though, how reliable is the rating? Is it a serious gamble buying a camera with that shutter count? Or is it still low as that camera is rated for 200k?

And can you still get the shutter in the D2X's replaced? If so, approx. how much does it cost ?

And are there any tell-tale signs that the camera is likely to pack-up soon?




Thanks very much in advance . :D
