price reduced: Sony Mavica CD500

[RushMan]

This equipment takes very sharp 5mp shots as well as decent 16fps mpeg videos.
With regret, I've decided to sell my Sony Mavica CD500 to support my Canon habit. I must get a 70-200 asap since my sons soccer season has already begun.

It includes the following:

1] Mavica CD500
2] Raynox DCR-1540PRO 1.54x telephoto w/ Raynox RT5245 F52-M49mm lens adapter
3] Sony HVL-F32X External Flash with side bar and flash cord
4] Sony BC-VM50 a/c charger
5] Quantaray C-PL Circular Polarizer Filter
6] THREE Sony NP-FM50 Batteries
7] 1 USB adapter cable
8] TWELVE Sony Mavica CD-RW 156mb
9] ONE Sony Mavica CD-R 156 mb



All of the equipment was purchased between June and August, several months before I bought my Canon 20d.

Every bit of this equipment is in *EXCELLENT* condition [except the bag which has two broken zippers]. I just noticed I forgot to show the CD's. Oh well, I'm not reworking the photo again...

I need a firm $495.00 plus shipping and paypal.

Very interesting... I have the lens you want, as new (I used it twice to take pictures of some squirrels (HONEST!), and don't seem to have much need for it. It is the IS USM Canon purchased new from Adorama. Might consider a swap. ?

He's in the market for the 70-200 f/4. I thought IS was only available on the 70-200 f/2.8. If you have the IS and RushMan won't trade, I'll buy his gear and trade with you. :D

I have to apologize, I was at the office and the lens and camera gear was back home. I mistook which lens I have since I rarely use it. It is:

Canon 75-300mm
Image Stabilizer USM
F4

Sorry!!!

[RushMan]

no problem. I've read alot about that lens :?

I do appreciate a response in here. Yours was the first.

But, I am open to just about anything. I almost traded my 24-70 2.8L for a 100-400 but I won't need that much zoom. I'd rather increase the quality and decrease the zoom, keeping the price in the right range.

BTW Jeff, awsome site you have there! Some great shots!

[AustinModelsAndTalent]

Thanks.
The long lens was an impulse buy... I didn't need it. As you can see, I generally shoot people and close up. I got the lens when I got my 10D early last year, along with a 28-135 which is the one I use all the time. I got to a model shoot at the park early one day, however, and put the big boy on and chased a squirrel around taking his picture for a while.

By the way, I have two Sony CD digital camera's and they're fantastic. My son uses one now, and the other I keep simply because it's worth more to me than I could sell for (they are the CD-1000, which is only 2.1MP).

bump for reduced price and added photos...
