It breaks my heart, but I'm putting one of my favorite cameras up for sale. The Ken Carr car is broKEN and I need the money to get closer to what it'll take to repair it.
I have for sale a Canon SX50 super zoom camera. It's got one of the most awesome zoom lenses I've ever seen. 1200mm or roughly a 200 times digital zoom. Here's the camera's description page on the Canon website -- click here.
The camera is basically in brand new condition. I still have the box in came in with all items included that it was sold with. I also have an external Canon Speedlite 270EX flash that goes on the hot shoe (external flashes are much nicer than the one that is the little pop up on the camera itself), 2 extra batteries, the external wall charger, a 16GB SD card, and a hand grip that I added.
The camera is currently selling on Amazon.com for $399.00 without any of the extras. The external flash sells for $149.00 on Amazon, the batteries $22.99, and the SD card about $10, and the hand grip $10. That's $590 worth of stuff if you bought it all on Amazon today (not including shipping).
I'm offering it all for $400.00 cash. If you're interested, I have it in my office at KGUN 9 and you can come by and see it during business hours at 7280 E. Rosewood Street, near Speedway and Kolb. Alert me you're coming by calling my direct line at (520) 290-7681 or call if you have any questions. I'd like to try and sell it without having to deal with Craigslist so I'm offering it here first.
Here's a photo of what I'm selling, and some picture examples of what it's capable of (note -- there was no retouching or filtering of the photos, the only thing I did was sized them down a bit for display on this blog... wait til you see the kind of photos it can shoot of the moon! See below):
