None, as a matter of fact. What do you want them to do?

Even sensor cleaning is not free during warranty.

Why ponder? Buy it new and now.

A friend of mine's S5 Pro accumulated a shutter count of 85,000 within slightly more than a year (so what is 30K?), and he is still using it without problem. The shutter of the D200 (S5 Pro), even though not a top-of-line professional model, is quite robust.

My own S5 Pro has a shutter count close to 50,000 and it is still going strong.

as a photog. i think it's better to worry about how to improve your own pictures than about shutter counts. why worry so much?
