Hey folks. I was wondering what are people's personal experience with the Condition of used Adorama products. I am looking at various camera bodies rated at (V) aka Very Good.
Thanks in Advance.

Upon arrival, I was not impressed nor did I feel it was in "excellent" condition. If fact, for the money I paid, I felt I was going to lose 1/4 of it if I was to keep it and try to sell it immediately.

I am a bit more interested in E/E-/V condition items. leroy_sunset wrote in post #9640796 ![]() I just bought a V-condition 1D.

The body looked clean from the outside no dents or scratches but I had to wet clean the sensor. The lens looked new. The combo works perfect.

I guess you can email them for pics but not sure if they will comply. I do not think folks should have to ask but that is just my humble opinion. My E- 1D MK III camera had lots of paint scuffs and missing paint. My V lens was scraped up and dinged up, but the photos are adequate and glass was clean. I didnt return either one. I see no reason why they cant link some photos of the item when they have many photos posted on their Ebay offerings. IMHO
