I have ordered some new camera equipment. As soon as it arrives, I have the following equipment ready to sell:
Sony CyberShot DSC-F707 5mp Digital Camera with:
Over two years remaining on the Best Buy 4 year extended service plan
(expires on 2/22/2006) ($59.99)
Original Manual
Battery
Charger
Original CD that came with the package ($999.99)
(2) 128mb Sony memory sticks ($179.98)
Sony Cam Kit (Carry Bag and Extra Battery) ($79.99)
Hoya R72 Infrared Filter (58mm) ($40.00)
Quantaray Skylight 1A (UV) filter (58mm) ($15.00)
Paid: $1374 for all of this purchased new
Selling everything for: $550.00
I will accept payment via personal check, money order, or PayPal. Personal checks must clear before I ship. I will pay shipping charges.
I thought I would post this here before I put it on Ebay. If you want to see sample photos taken with this camera, just check my portfolio. Everything in it was done with this camera.
I currently do not have a firm delivery date on my new equipment yet because the camera is backordered temporarily.

Congrats, John! You will love the flexibility of an SLR. Which lenses did you buy? I spent hours and hours researching lenses and wound up getting the 50mm f1.4, the 70-200 f4.0L, and the 100mm f2.8 Macro. They all turned out to be excellent choices. No regrets at all...
I thought I would miss the wide angle end, but I haven't so far.
Also, where did you purchase from???

Nice, welcome to the team. Yeah I'm wondering which 24-70 you ended up getting, if any. I'd be interested in your lens choices. Smelly's choices sucked, by the way. Sure, I got the 50 1.4 and the 70-200 F4 too..but the 100 macro? Weird. Just plain weird. I went for the stellar 28 2.8 instead. One of the better Canon lenses.
I'm selling my F717 on eBay.ca starting today but I won't step on yer toes and post here just now. Initially I thought I'd use both but I think I'm gonna get a Canon Elph and maybe another lens with the proceeds (100 macro, perhaps?) and leave it at that. A camera to carry everywhere, and it takes a CF card to boot. No double-system. The F717 proved to be too similar in size to ever end up being a suitable choice over the 10D.

i think the 100 2.8 macro would be an excellent choice. i like using an 85 1.2 a lot, having a 50 1.4 and a 100 2.8 would be nice |

Congrats John, I would love to hear your feed back on these 2 lenses that you are getting
Canon 75-300 f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Canon 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 II USM
I have been looking and reading up on these 2 myself, I have heard good things about them, but I will have to wait until December or so to buy. Hopefully sooner.

Canon 75-300 f/4.0-5.6 IS USM- I have this lens. I dont like lenses that have the front element that turns during focusing but unless your going to spend big money on a L lens this is the way to go. The non IS version might be a good choice if you shoot ONLY from a tripod.

(if it sells do I get a cut for keeping this on the front page?) |

I'd be interested in the Quantaray Skylight 1A (UV) filter (58mm) ($15.00). Don't know if you'll sell it separately...

It's not really much of a business yet. I haven't started soliciting yet. All I have been doing for the last 6 months or so is photo restoration work and I have done quite a bit of that actually. I will probably get out of that because it's quite time consuming and I would rather be making photos.

| I'm starting my own photography biz. Have no clients yet. Just passing out biz cards. I reference my pbase site //www.pbase.com/fsieradzki/my_stuff as my portfolio. I'm thinking of upgrading to a better camera. Was waiting for the new F828 but it won't ship till mid Jan. |

Judging by the work that has come from this camera, I'd be willing to bet that by now, it knows how to to take great pictures by itself. I also heard this guy named Picasso is interested in selling some brushes...
