Originally posted by jypfoto Disappointed, got my K-1 from Amazon today. Box looked a little worn, opened the box and the screen had some fingerprints and residue on the screen. Turned the camera on and no welcome screen, time set, etc. Straight to shooting. Inserted a fresh memory card, formatted. Shutter count on the forums shows a manufacture date of 4/18/16 but also a shutter count of 898.
I hope you recorded you opening the shipping box, the camera box, and documenting all the points that lead us to conclude they sold you a used item as new. Doing so is illegal.
Check and see if they were no so smart and entered a name in the copyright field..
In any case, if I had just paid 1800 for a new camera, I'd politely request (demand) a brand new camera with the used copy returned back to them at their cost. If you have the above proof, it will make it easier for you to go about this. But I'd take it one step further and make sure Amazon CS knows the seller has sold a Used item as New. Unsavory business practices need to be documented/reported.
