Major photographic company con trick

Having paid full price via cash and P/X I expect to get a brand new seal box not one already opened with a delivery note inside. To make matters worse it had 109 shutter actuations already on it all be it 2 of my check photos. I have no idea not touching any further if it has been buck passed because it has fault or not.

Yep the Panasonic G9 mk2 came yesterday afternoon . As soon s I took it out to the transported box I spotted something was not quite right. A new camera comes in a sealed box, this one had been opened. Warning bells started ringing. the battery was virtually flat not 1/3 charged as per sent by Panasonic so had to charge that up first. Next there is a sequency one can use to see how many times the shutter did. This is a hidden menu but I know how to get into it.( shutter count 109)
Result they sent me a second hand used camera instead of brand new. so they can take it back and send me what I paid for

AFAIK, the shutter count is for Mechanical Shutter only. Electronic Shutter is used by most people most of the time, and those actuations are not counted.

You might want to look into that before putting your case to them.

Having been since in contact with the company we have come to an amicale agreement whichI won’t go into.
