Hi! Just bought the D7000 kit today from TK. It's great except I noticed it has a shutter count of 53 already although the salesguy brought out a "brand-new" set. Should I be annoyed by this?

53 i think its ok.. just ignore it and shoooot more haha

 

[spree86]

I believe is normal as the camera is tested by QA before it is ship out...

After testing, the technicians will reset the shutter count to 0 but 53 is nothing to be worried about

i got mine with 0 count but who cares? So long as its working fine n the unit is in good cosmetic condition, go out n shoot!

Yeah haha its my first dslr so I'm pretty set to really learning more about photog! I'm just worried that their demo kits were chosen because they might be slightly problematic but I can't tell. I mean its not going overboard to ask for a new set when you're investing nearly 2000 dollars haizz

Just called to register for the free lens redemption.

FYI, for those like me who just bought the D7000 these past couple of days, dont make a wasted trip to redeem the free lens for the time being.
Please call the Nikon Service Centre to register your redemption of the AF 50mm f/1.8D lens. They will call you once their stocks are in.

"AF 500mm f/1.8" if nikon offers this, d7k will become the best selling camera in nikon's history for sure. Lol j/k

You should be annoyed, very annoyed. It could be a return set from customer due to camera fault. You should exercise your consumer rights and ask for a 0 shutter count set. Test on the spot till satisfied! ;p

How do you check shutter count at the shop?

Parisilk holland village. But I only knew it's 0 after I got home (camera registered the one shot I took at the shop). Haha

Bring ur laptop, a card n card reader. Shoot with ur card, read the picture with ur laptop to check count. The above can only b done if they allow u to.

It could also mean someone tested the camera's continuous mode.

oh i see.

Is it true that the camera won't allow you to shoot until you setup the basic settings?

i reckon if you see the salesman setting up the camera (date, clock, etc) for the first time, its most likely new set.

When u turn on the camera for the first time, u will b required to set the date / time. This does not mean that it has not been used before. If u take out the battery for a certain time span, the settings will reset.
