I’m will to take a loss (obviously) and let this camera go for $550CDN.
I have DOZENS of references who will all tell you that I’m not a dead-beat seller and for people like Benny (who I let use my camera frequently) to tell you that this camera takes kick-ass photos – period!
PM or e-mail me questions and/or offers. Am looking to sell immediately.
Thanks guys and if you buy the camera, enjoy.
:thumbsup:Peter
