I have a Minolta X700 with 35-70mm zoom and flash, for which I would not get more than $100 that I would gladly give away to some kid who cannot afford buying one. I started with this camera years ago and it is still in new shape. It would be great if it could bring a smile and some hope to a kid out there!
