Since the forum market section is for auto parts only, where can I post the sale details?

try JJmetha.com.

The Sony 717 is a perfectly good digicam if oen can correct the reds in photoshop.

BTW digicam have horrible resale value. I find that they can be better used if left at a relative's place or let your kids use them.

I have a N80, 28-105, 70-300ED, 50/1.8, SB50Dx, 62mm filters and polarisers, etc.. but only was quoted 20,000 for them. I decided to keep the camera and lenses. My Canon G2 with 420EX would fetch half that. Both systems cost the same at time of purchase. The Canon was bought 6 months later.

One day I will get a reall good Nikon digicam (like the D200) and 2 f/2.8 zoom lenses (like the 17-55 and 70-200 or 80-200). I will then use my old lenses as a travel kit.

Right now digicam's still leave a bit to be desired.

a) I am not adept at photoshop and reall wish digicams would allow you to set the print size (say 4x6, 5x7, 6x8, 8x10).

b) dust on the CCD still bothers me. I tend to take most of my shots outdoors and in dusty or sometimes wet conditions

c) a good cheap APS wide prime (like the 35/2) is still not available. the nearest 20/2.8 is expensive and not fast enough for night safaris. I dont think Nikon will use CCDs bigger than APS for a while.

d) Canon users have it a bit easier. I am still so stuck on Nikon's ease of use that I cant get my hands around a Canon. I used the D20 with a 17-85 but found it uncomfortable. BTW most Indian magazines like India Today use Canon digSLRs almost exclusively.
