well it arrived this morning , the camera exterior condition doesn't  look look like a high shutter count model i.e no paint rubbing ,no chips ,no scratches etc hard to distinguish from a new camera in fact the , fully boxed with charger 2 original batteries, manuals and and lots of ancillary bits and bobs , .thats the pros . now the cons high shutter count 350,000 ?? that doesn't go with condition though .. very dusty previous owner stated it had been a back up for 3 to 4 years , , a very dusty eyepiece which I have since dismantled and cleaned its now sparkling .. and the last hurdle the sensor itself was extremely grubby . I have done a partial wet clean on the sensor I only had two swabs though and they were APS-H  sized. anyway its removed I would say around 90% of the crap but now need to buy some more to finish it properly . so for £390  is it a keeper or do I return it .   
  lovely to use and focus to die for managed a couple of pics in the rain today so I can see the potential ..  ?????
