Don't all line up at once to buy it! :lol:

I particularly like the "flash light" part. :cool:

Thats rather funny. the 'flash light' part is probably the most descriptive thing he mentioned about the camera. Doesn't even say what kind it is! :lol:

very curious how so many expensive cameras are put up for sale by people that can't even accurately describe them. I see two, maybe three of these a week in Portland, they might describe it by the megapixel count, or by the lens numbers with an error like a cannon 2.8-70 or something like that. It makes me think they are hot, but sometimes it's an angry ex getting as much as they can from the leftovers or a spoiled kid that was given a toy and got bored with it when they found out it required learning and perserverance. But most of the time I think it's hot.

Have to agree with that - If you knew anything at all about camreas, CL would not be where you sell your kit!

Actually, I sell alot on c-list with good results. I think it is the best way for someone like me that harbors a deep distrust of anyone not willing to meet me face to face in a starbucks to buy and sell.

I just reread your quote- you are right, if I had a camrea I might try another venue.

Really? :rolleyes: :-)

If it's as good as the speelin and gramer I don't think I'll bother, even though it does have a "krisp finsh for pictures"
