Nikon Denmark Refurbished products offer

[Frank Fremerey]

There is a Z8, grade C, for 2.899. Nikon offers full warranty. My own Z9 and Z50II come from that store

If it hasn't been mentioned in this thread: you can register a notification/alert for specific refurbished products.
   
I registered a notification for a refurbished Nikon Z-100-400 on Nikon.dk. After a while I found a great price for a new lens in Germany and bought it ... not long after, I was notified by Nikon.dk about a refurbished sample at much better price... sigh.

  Thank you Frank. I have never dare to buy from this site. Have you? Will Nikon repair this products if there is ever need?

Interesting Frank
You told me about e-infin a while back after Jan Anne had recommended them.
I bought a D500 and a kit zoom lens at prices much below that of new items

I knew they were likely to be reconditioned but assumed warranty would deal with any issues
However my results moving from an equivalent d300 & comparable zoom weren't as good.

I think the zoom had issues but I was never able to get to the bottom of it. There was no Nikon warranty - just return to the vendor.

The camera arrived today.
It looks like a new camera.
The battery is charging in the moment.
I noticed that the trigger feels different from the Z50 where it is like a small "micro-switch" when the trigger "breaks".
The Z7ii there is no "click".

On my Z cams (Z6II, Z7II, Z8) the micro-switch trigger break is less distinct than on my previous Nikon cams (D200, D2Xs, D3, D800).  I found it initially disappointing but in practice seems to work OK.

[MEPER]

The trigger on the Z50 there is a 1st click where it does the AF then then a 2nd click for the exposure.
On my Z7ii there is just a "stop" (no click) where it does the AF and from there it is just spring loaded movement for the exposure.
It reminds me a bit like the F3 trigger action.

Congratulations MEPER
Yes, I'd expect something sold as "refurbished" to look pretty much new.

Every mobile phone I've bought for the last 7 years has been "used" (grade B)
But none of them have shown any wear or even signs of previous use. My understanding of refurbished is that in most cases they will have had almost minimal previous use.

Plus, in the USA it appears to be quite normal for people to buy and then return goods & get a full refund on them.
I don't see how items like this could then be sold as "new" by the retailer. I don't know if "returns" like this are as common in Europe.

When you say "trigger", is this the shutter?

[MEPER]

Yes, with "trigger" I mean the shutter release button :-)

I "played" with custom setting for FN1 and FN2.
FN1 I set to "100% zoom" to be used for exact focus with MF lenses.
Then for FN2 I set it to "focus peaking". It was set to that in the custom menu but the reality was that FN2 still acted as "AF selector" so switch between AF-C / AF-S etc.
What was the intention to have "focus peaking" assigned to a FN button?     ...on/off or another feature?
I can go into the normal shooting menu and permanently switch it on.
The camera was born with Firmware ver. 1.70 which I think the the latest so far.
