So, has this entire forum died, or what?

There used to be so much traffic here...

Hey,
I guess its a bit on the high side. The price for a new D700 is about 1350 Euro were I live. And since it is a third hand camera ......
The best thing you can do is to post an RAW picture, that will allow potential buyers to check the amount of clicks.
This is how they can do it:
Here’s a simple way to check the number of shutter releases (the real number of shots taken with a camera) for Nikon DSLR cameras (on other cameras or brands, I’m sure it’s really similar).

1. Take a photo with your camera or find the last photo stored in your computer (card, disk, whatever). The important thing to keep in mind is that it must be a photo taken with the camera without any external processing (NEF or RAW files, or untouched JPG’s). This information is stored in the EXIF data stored with the photo and it’s really easy to erase that information just by opening a JPG in Photoshop and saving it again.

2. Open the photo with Photoshop (I’ve used CS4, but CS3 and probably CS2 will be alright too). If it’s a RAW file, probably you’ll get the Camera RAW window first, so just hit Open Image on the bottom of the window to open it in Photoshop.

3. Go to File > File Info and you’ll have access to the photo’s metadata or EXIF information. The information is divided in tabs, so scroll to the ADVANCED tab and open the tree folder “Schema (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/). The number of shots is stored in the aux:ImageNumber property.

If you want to know....Personally everything was looking good for me to consider purchasing this...then came the "snip" ...mmmmm..sorry but that killed the deal for me.

My RRS L plate fits my D700 perfectly. No snip needed.

Guys, the "snip" is less than a quarter inch off the lip on a $50 zeikos grip. Let's get real here. It doesn't affect the operation at all, and if that one thing is a deal breaker, then make me an offer based on the loss in perceived value in your eyes.

Or you could just upload an image to www.myshuttercount.com and let it tell you in about 5 seconds.
