Hi,
I'm in a bit of a kerfuffle. My family has made me a pretty big surprise, they have all joined up to buy me a nikon d750 for my birthday. They have bought it second hand, from a site similar to gumtree in France. Then posted it to me. The problem is that they don't know anything about camera and while it was bought in a "fully working" order by a pro-photographer, the condition of the camera really leaves to desire.
Because it was a private sale in France there is no way of sending it back or asking for a refund.
The two main issues are:
- if the bracketing button is touch it sticks on and you cannot access any menu/setting. The button doesn't spring back but you can manually unstick it using your nail. Not a huge problem once you know it but disappointing.
- one of the rubber on the front left of the camera is missing, so it looks very untidy.
Other niggles:
- the screen has a fair bit of scratch
- the wheel at the back and live view switch feel a bit "used"
Can I send the camera back to sony for fixing at a reasonable price, or is there any other repairer I could contact?
I guess nobody will be able to give me a quote before receiving the camera.
I don't really want to spend too much money on a camera which I found is a bit battered.
