Yes, you too can take high-quality photos for not a whole lotta money.

I am selling my beloved Canon G3 camera, only because I decided to upgrade to a newer camera after my latest trip. This camera has taken a TON of awesome pics for me, including all those on my pBase gallery. I have framed 11×14 prints from this camera hanging all over my apartment and on my desk at work, and I always get great compliments on them. (I use an Epson 1280 photo printer for my prints…highly recommended!)

Here’s some info on the Canon G3:

• Amazon.com
• Digital Photography Review (and here’s the bottom line if you’re not really technical)

My camera is in good condition, but it has been used A LOT so it is showing signs of wear. The little icons on the top dial (for the various shooting modes like Portrait, Landscape, Panoramic, etc.) are wearing off so you will have to either learn what modes are in which position or simply take a Sharpie and re-ink the icons (I can do this for you on request if you have an unsteady hand). Other than that there is a tiny crack in the housing that does not affect the camera’s performance or handling in any way. I will post pics of the actual camera soon.

I have also misplaced the remote control, but if I find it I will gladly deliver it to the seller when I do. I have everything else that came with the camera, including the original box, software and manuals. You will definitely want to get a larger capacity compact flash card though, if you don’t have one already.

In addition, I just bought a new battery for the camera before I left for my trip at the end of May. I probably still have the receipt for it! So the camera comes with an extra, brand-spanking-new battery which is great for long trips when you might not have access to a charger often. The G3’s battery life is actually really good, but I got the extra battery because I didn’t want to have to charge my camera during the week I was in China for fear I would have a bad voltage converter experience.

Again, take a look at the pictures from my latest trip (during the last two weeks of May 2005) and see for yourself what great pics it takes.

I have 100% positive feedback on eBay (which is where this camera will end up if I can’t sell it offline first). So it’s not like I’m a scammer.

My asking price is $250 plus shipping (to be determined by your location and desired method of shipment). If you’re interested, e-mail me. (Please note that this e-mail address is disposable to prevent spam and it will be expired once I sell the camera. So don’t get offended if you stumble upon this in a few months and your message bounces back. If you want to reach me, leave a comment instead.)

If you’re not interested but know someone else who might be, I’d appreciate you sharing this with them. And oh yeah…the reason I decided to buy a new camera is so I can start selling my photography to help get out of debt! Wish me luck! And if you don’t buy my camera, I hope you’ll consider buying my prints and notecards soon!
