Ugh. My digital camera of four years is thinking about dying too.
Dangit!

well, there's always eBay.

Actually, there is a camera shop in Dexter that handles used equipment.  Seem
to be good folk the few times I've been in there.  Did things like replace
3 missing screws on my camera in about 15 minutes, no charge.

i know theres ebay..... but i was thinking maby someone was looking to 
sell theirs on here, as a way to skip ebay

and is that anywhere near lansing michigan?

Its about 10 miles west of Ann Arbor.  On a nice day, there is a pleasant
back-roads drive south on M 52 from Brighton to Chelsea, then east to Dexter.
Alternatively, try US 127 south to Jackson, then take I 94 east.

I have a camera that I'm probably willing to sell. It's a bit 'fancier' 
than I want [I'd rather have just a simple 'point and shoot'.  What I 
have is a Minolta Dimage Z5 [I think...].  A week or two ago I checked 
online and see the going rate is $299-$350ish... To go with it, I also 
have a Minolta Sunpack external flash and a carry-bag that both fit 
into. I know I have the directions for the flash, but am still looking 
for the directions for the actual camera [but know that it CAN be 
dowloaded from the website].  I'd be willing to sell it all as a 
package deal for in the $300 price range.

got any details on the camera itself?
like MP, zoom range?
and it is digital right?


#9 of 18 by denise on Wed Mar 21 01:59:34 2007:

Yep, it's digital. :-)   I'll try and post a bit more tomorrow!  And if you're
interested in looking at it, I'll need to go pick it up at  my Dad's place
in Dearborn; I'll be going over there probably sometime in this next week or
so.  Chad, do you live in the AA/Ypsi area?

If you're interested in the camera, perhaps we could meet part way s omewhere.
I'll post more info on the camera a bit later today, I hope; someone's coming
over in a few minutes to check out some of my other stuff I'm trying to get
rid of...

wow nice!
how long you plan on keeping that set?
i may want it in a bit.


#15 of 18 by denise on Fri Mar 23 15:57:11 2007:

Check with me if you're still interested in it later. I may or may not still
have it--I'll hang on to it until I get a good offer [or eventually, I may
post it on the local craigslist]. I'll wait on that until after I move and
get settled in my new place [I may wait longer, time will tell; it depends
on how inpatient I get in wanting to buy a new one].


#16 of 18 by fuzzball on Fri Mar 23 16:14:30 2007:

well i currently dont have te free cash to buy it with, but would 
SERIOUSLY like to buy it in maby a month or so.
also, my dad may be interested in the set, then i can buy it from him 
at a later time.


#17 of 18 by denise on Sat Mar 24 14:04:24 2007:

Ok, I won't push in trying to sell it for a little while; I'll be busy trying
to get moved and settled into my new place for the next couple weeks anyway.
If I happen to run across someone interested in before you are, I'll letcha
know.
