DigitalRev - What do they do with the review units?

... well in the case of this guy, they sell their slightly used demo equipment as new. It is an interesting read.....

Hey, DigitalRev, that’s MY camera!

Wow, that is really, really lame. I'll bet they will just adopt a policy of wiping EXIF data rather than stop this shameful practice.

Adam always sells it in the Marketplace, with a flag stating he's used it for the demo, and nothing else. Very stand up guy, that admin of ours :P

They probably ran out of the model that was ordered, and knew nothing was wrong with that one. Surprised they didn't set it as backordered, and sell off the body for more than it's worth for a charity.

How about that?

... Never saw this before.

I'd better keep an eye on that Marketplace then.

I thought they took the cameras out to an ice-and-fire test every time like they did with the 7D.
