Just did something crazy ! (eBay related)

[nianys]

The C3 has been waiting at the post office for close to a week. I'll fetch it on monday. The SEL 35 will be delivered as well, as should the 7. It's raining NEX !

Kevin how on earth do you know about those places ?!? Did you check Wikipedia for French ghettos, lol ?!

I spent a year there teaching the Dim Mak death touch to prostitutes so they could learn to protect themselves against their less than cordial "clients"...before I joined the Foreign Legion...or I maybe I looked up "worst neighborhoods in Paris" on Google. You decide.

Well the shipping wasn't THAT bad, it was just above what I know it'll truly cost. But the seller answered my mails and will go to the Post Office tomorrow and get back to me with a quote. Looks like he's ok with selling the kit as low as it went for. The lateral sides of the top plates of the body are scuffed by the metal lugs of the strap, other than that body and lenses are pristine. Once lenses are sold it'll be a 7 for about 500€, do all in all I'm blissful.

Next time you start with Fuji this or Panasonic that I'm going to send you a telegram with just three word on it....WE'RE YOUR FAMILY (actually that's really four word because we're is a contraction and should really means we are but you get the idea). Now get back to those heartbreakingly beautiful pictures of your giant dachshund and my sons future wife.

Welcome back.

That makes monday one of the very few in history to lok forward to! Actually I always look forward to Monday, its my husband's only day off, which makes Saturday and Sunday really tedious

Before we marry the kids you can teach me that Dim Mak thingy, always good to know
I love the FAMILY concept, and truly this is how it's felt here since the beginning. Believe it or not but I'm not shooting m4/3 anymore for community reason, and just couldn't stand being NEXless for more than a few hours, I just seem to belong with you guys. It's not the camera, it's the Spirit.

Hmm, I think Colt's going to resent that Giant Dachshund concept

It's not the camera at all, it the people. Cameras come and go but it's the support and community that drives us all to create and encourages us to reach out to one another. This community here is unlike any other I have been part of and a truly wonderful thing to be part of.

Yes Kevin, very true. The fact that there's also a bunch of talented and/or fast improving photog's daily posting beautiful shots is very inspiring. If I'd bought an X-E1 I'd feel like an orphan, lol.
Not saying I won't get one in the future, but I think I'll always keep one foot solidly in the NEX community as this really has become "home". When I remember the amount of hate and hostility I received in some specific DPR sub forum, I'm really grateful I've found this place.

The NEX 7 with 18-55 and 16/2.8 will ship tomorrow Happy !!

Virtual group hug ...does anyone here know the words to Kumbaya? I'm kidding of course, I KNOW the words to Kumbaya...and I agree wholeheartedly.

Glad it all turned out okay in the end! I keep seeing that pink NEX 3 advertised...... I love pink....... dare I LOL!

 

[teefin1]

I would have liked a pink one, black gets a little repetitive.

Yeah, but pink is so… pink. As in… not black.

 

[ChangshaNotes]

Yours is not pink Bimjo?

I guess I just assumed. :wink-new:

 

[teefin1]

If it is, can we swap?!

 

[nianys]

You girls are wilder than I am !! I did note to myself the pink one was awfully cute, but AFAIC, cameras are BLACK

 

[Bimjo]

Well, just the polka dots. Which clash with the neon purple stripes and lime green triangles. But what's a guy to do? I just gotta be me!

 

[kevistopheles]

I want a camera that matches my eyes...black and pulsing with evil...but pink is cool too!

 

[nianys]

I have to say the black X10 and NEX 7 pair is quite sleek looking
