Hi,
i recently found a deal on a used Nikon D3, it was crazily cheap, but it turns out the sensor has some faults. When shooting in FX mode, 1/6 part of right side of the sensor gets darker. In DX mode, you don't see the darker area at all.
So i wonder if any of you guys here know what it would cost to get the sensor replaced and if it's even possible at all. Maybe it's one of those things you think you are getting it much cheaper but in the end you pay a lot more then a new camera.
I found a spare sensor on eBay, but it was like 1600$ which is a lot.
So what do you think, would it be worth it? It costs equivalent to 1000$ which is cheap, a working D3 cost equivalent to 3500$.
