FS: Sony F828 w/ 4GB MD +

[BMC9670]

Hi Everyone,

I'm selling my Sony F828 and some extra goodies to go with it. Here is the package:

Sony F828 - with box and all factory accessories (Lens cap, Lens hood, manual, battery, AC cord, USB cord, video cord, CD) - excellent condition - this puppy was babied!

4 GB Microdrive - has always worked flawlessly and holds more than 1,000 highest resolution pics or an hour of 640x480 30fps MPEG VX fine video

Sony VCT-D68RM Tripod - with remote zoom and shutter release control

High quality, ballistic vinyl, padded shoulder bag by Victorianox (makers of the Swiss Army Knife) - fits the camera like a glove wih pockets for cables and accessories without being too bulky.

All told I put almost $1500 into it. I'm asking $875 (including shipping in US).

hi bmc - you might want to try including some pics of the gear, as well as maybe some references, since you're new here.

good luck on your sale!

Also, I'm not personally going to be buying any more camera's for a while, but some people might want to know why you're selling it. That's usually something I look for when I purchase used equiptment-- the reason as to why the owner suddenly doesn't need it anymore.

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have any online selling references as I've never sold anything online before. I was referred to this site from the www.dpreview.com (http://www.dpreview.com/) forums - I'm under the same handle there. I can give personal references to anyone interested in buying my camera.

Once I buy a new camera, I will post pics of my F828, but I do need to sell it to get a new camera (see my dilemma?).

The reason I'm selling is that I need a smaller camera. I love the F828, but find that I never have it with me when I need/want it. Originally, I bought it to double as a video camera (great movie mode) and now the pocket cams, like the P200 I plan to buy, have high resolution and great video quality in a small package. This just wasn't available a year ago.

I will miss some features on the F828, but since I'm not a pro and don't use a lot of the advanced features, I will benefit more from a smaller camera. After all, it's hard to take pictures of any quality if you don't have your camera with you, right?
