And he delivered. Proves that there still are honest people in this world.

Am I saying do this for everyone on CL? No. I did a little research on the guy, found out he had a photography business, he always answered his phone, and I had full confidence in the transaction.

Dont get tied up in the bullshit that everyone on CL is a scammer.

Everything was very well packaged, the camera was insured, he shipped it litterly about an hour after he got the MO in the mail.

well now this thread sucks

Maybe I should rephrase that. Anything is for sale for the right price.

Good buy. Thats a good deal for a practically brand new body. I hate you Frank.

I give you 100$ for it since you touched it with your hand.

Poopy diaper pics were never so razor sharp and amazing.

I'll be happy forever with a $150 camera

I love my 199.00 pentax. Anything more and I wouldn't know how to use it. It takes good enough pics for me.

thanks.

the JDM dog also got sick of me taking pictures of him.

Robb, I also got a grip in the deal. Typically these go for the 2200- range, no grip, used. I think I got a pretty kick ass deal.

Good enough for me means a $500 day for about 4 hours of work. The post processing typically is my beer time, so I dont count that time.

$199 wouldnt cover anything I have for my camera, except the bag and the cleaning kit.

This camera was paid for by JDM car parts I sold to you people. Thanks, RHMT

I was half expecting a thread saying I got scammed or something down those lines, because of the title.

Where the fuck besides CL would you find one used? I watch Adorama and you just dont see em. Hell of a deal.

junkyard racer · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:17:40 PM »

Go to fredmiranda and post up in the classifieds. and make sure your ready to buy when you make the thread. Also, you gotta pay to use the classifieds. Pretty gay but its the way it is, if you wanna use it. Or you could just find someone else who has a "wtb d700" thread and shit on theirs

You can get a new d700 from bh photo for about 2400- range I think.

If you arent interested in going full frame, the D90 in my opinion is still one of the best deals out there.

Do you like your big aperture so much that you cant even close it enough to make the buttons near the back of the camera in focus haha.

I do. I can retake the d700 if you want to see those buttons.

If you think the d90 does some sweet boke, you should see the boke the d700 will do with a 1.4 lens. :yes:

I've had several offers for it, one being more than I paid for it 10 months ago. I do not plan to sell it right now. If you want some advice on buying, ill be glad to offer it.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:32:53 PM »

Sure, that'd be great!

I have $50, what should I buy?

A used cyber-shot.

Seriously they work great for what they are.

A canon ae1 program, its a film camera, its fully featured, fully programmable, manual focus. If she actually wants to learn to do artstic type photography, a digital point and shoot might not be the best.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #25 on:** September 19, 2009, 02:03:09 PM »

She does, but I'm worried about what the attention span of a 13 year old with ADD will handle when there's no one to teach her how to use the camera.

fork · « **Reply #26 on:** September 19, 2009, 06:24:51 PM »

Yeah, it could be a bit much for a 13 year old. I'm sure she could handle it if she really wanted to. But a point and shoot is brainless. Maybe a point and shoot, that will let you manually set aperture and shutter speed (If you choose to), if she sticks with it and wants to learn that stuff in the future.
