Dies this sound right?


I bought a supposedly new Nikon d700 on ebay, well when I got the camera it didn't seem new, usually when you first turn on a new one it has you set it up, time zones etc. This one didn't

Plus, after doing an online shutter count it had 2,386 actuations.

The seller has a very high feedback rating

Does it sound like I got robbed?

Should I demand either a replacement or partial refund?

Nikon super cheap wide angle?


I'm building a drone which can hold a DSLR + a lens. I currently can use my Samyang 8mm, but I would like a cheap, LIGHT, alternative wide angle rectilinear lens. My best option at the moment is a used 18-55 kit lens, but I'm wondering if there are any other cheaper wide angles out there for a Nikon APS-C sensor.

Nikon D7100 continuous shooting?


I want to do a timelapse of the night sky. So I put my D7100 out there with settings:
30 seconds, f1.8, 18mm, iso 400, continuous shooting.
I then attach my cable trigger, press the button down and lock it.
This works fine for 100 photos, but Nikon's D7100 has a 100 photo limit. My timelapse is only 4 seconds with 100 photos. How can I make it go for longer? I've tried the built in interval meter but it's buggy sometimes and locks up the camera.

How to take or edit quality photos such as these?


I follow some people on instagram who post the most amazing photos I've ever seen of their dogs.
For example:

HOW on earth do they edit or take them? Is it the lens? I have a 5ish year old Nikon d40. Is there anyway I can take such quality pictures? Thanks!
