howdy all,

As written elsewhere, I have finally taken the jump into Decent digital photography, with Santa bringing my family a Sony A100, to replace the Minolta 7000i & 500si that have given me much joy..

Now, being 35mm SLR's, I have found that they are next to worthless (Camera shops wont taken them for trade & I don't really feel like selling them on Epay, as they will be body only and in all honesty will fetch less then $100 for the pair), so my next option is to keep them & store them

Considering that they may be stored for many years, what recommendations do people have for storing these bodies?

Remove the batteries, clean the cameras, and store them in a heavy-duty ziploc baggie with a packet of silica gel. That should take care of it.

Then maybe place them in boxes with padding.
