Test Your New Camera Gear Before Too Late
Get some new gear? Open it and make sure it works and is what was ordered. Charge the camera up and make a few test pictures before it becomes difficult to return, as new electronics do not always work correctly. And there can be other problems. I recently bought a lens from a very reputable store. However, the package had been wrapped with plain tape, not the tape that store uses, and the box, except for packaging, was empty. No lens. The store was very helpful and shipped me a replacement lens as soon as I filled out their very modest paperwork. But still I feel uncomfortable about someone taking my lens. Open and test new equipment before it becomes difficult to return.
