In that case the best bet is to put it through its paces , take shots at all points in the zoom range, test how fast it focuses, get a feel for how it moves, try the IS in both modes ete etc. Idf the salesman is impaitent with all this then find a more understanding dealer
Another good point is to remember to take your camera with you as it wont necessarily behave the same on yours as it does on a shop model.
and finally once you have bought it make sure you put it through its paces as soon as so if there are any issues you can exchange it asap - although it will have a 12 month waranty they are more likely to replace rather than repair if you go back as soon as possible after purchase.
