So if you get one used there's two things you need to know:
First off the grip will dissolve and get a texture of sticky soft "Play Doh" but it will scrape off with a credit card, then what's left will come off with "Armorall" auto cleaner (honestly it's that simple don't use a heavy cleaner or you will damage the paint), but it looks spectacular without a grip (i stuck a sticker on mine though because it looked naked).
and second of all don't pass up this DSLR because of its age, it is still a beautiful camera that functions brilliantly, if you come across one for the right price do not let it go (this is my first DSLR but i revere it like i honour my EM-1 OR EM-5 MK 2).
