Hi guys,

Planning to let go my 1 year old Nikon D40 body only. Shutter count is at 10k. Any takers ? Plan to sell it off at $ 450. Interested party can email me for more info at peisqo[at]hotmail[dot]com

Hey guys,
not sure if you guys are interested, but VANBAR is having a massive discount of Hoya filters, ranging from $1 to $5. No kidding.

Quick, order now before it finishes.

Hi all,

Vanbar ( http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/index.php ), a camera store based in Melbourne, are clearing out some Sunpak flashes (type "Sunpak" into the search box on that page). Of particular interest might be the Sunpak PZ 40 X AF flashes for $22 in Minolta, $44 in Canon and $55 in Nikon mounts (the Minolta mount is a bit weird, probably why it's cheaper) plus about $20 in shipping and handling. The latter two will also work fine off-camera (and the Minolta will after modification). I've received 2 already and have a few more on order myself!

These flashes are interesting in that they are relatively powerful (guide number 40 - that means it is powerful enough to illuminate a subject at ISO100 if the distance between the flash and the subject in meters, multiplied by your F-stop is less than 40), work with automatic pre-flash metering, have the option of proper manual power control and a bounce-zoom head.

Hi people,

Well this is not confirmed yet but I do have the itch to upgrade ... Before that just wondering if anyone is looking for a 2nd hand D40 + kitlens ? How much would you pay for it ? It's kinda new ... i got it July 2007 ... shutter count about 7k ..

Hi guys,

My 18-70mm Lense failed on me today. The motor makes a funny sound when turning on the camera, and I can no longer auto focus. Sometimes the focussing is stuck that I cant auto focus either :(

Just wondering if you guys have any recommended places for camera repais that I should go to fix this. My lense is the standard 18 - 70 mm Sony lense that came with my a100 when I bought it beginning of last year... Or do you think it will probably cost less if I just get another one on ebay?
