p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Buying a used A7 - problems to look out for ? | |
Hi,
I just ordered a used/returned A7 from amazon warehouse deals here in Germany. I had been looking for a while for one that wasn't advertised "as new" as that translates into very small savings. Finally one with cosmetic damage ("little scratches on body") came up tonight for a price that I couldn't resist.
I can't know whether the previous customer returned it because they simply changed their mind, mis-used it as a free rental for a weekend or whether they returned it because they found something wrong with their copy. Therefore I would like to give the camera a thorough going-over to check for potential problems within the 30-day period that I can return it no questions asked.
Obviously I will check the sensor for dust or damage.
I would like to try the sensor for misalignment issues but I only have a few adapted lenses handy, so it may be hard to tell whether any issues in that regard are due to the adpater or the sensor alignment.
Other than that, what should I look for? If think you have or had a bad copy, what's the issue? Anything known about issues that occur with high frequency?
Thanks for any input.
