>I am scared off from buying any "demo" equipment from a large dealer like B&H. While I don't have any problem with buying new gear from them, my dealer for used items is www.keh.com
I picked up a used "Demo" G1 kit from B&H a few weeks ago and everything is mint. Body, Lens, and flash. It was 550, there was another "Demo" g1 for sale but it was 600. No idea why the difference in price if they were the same two camera kits? Anyway i was hesitant but found it to be a good experience. The price was right and i got a 35 lens from Keh for under 200 that looks like it had never been touched.
> I once purchased a "demo" Leica M6 from R&K in Auburn, WA. I paid $1399 and it was NIB with a one year Leica warranty. Had absolutely not been used. Have had other dealings with R&K that were exceptionally pleasant and well done on their part. The guy to talk to is Duane Montague. They are authorized dealers for just about everything and very competitive and also they like to take advantage of deals such as demo units from manufacturers. They also are active on Ebay using the ID
I brought an AX few months ago. It squeeks when the aperture preview button is pressed.
I send it to a very good repairperson. When the camera comes back, it is totally transformed. When I press the shutter now, it feels like an M3. Good servicing does make a great difference.
