[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Time to clean out some of my equipment to make room for new: Ricoh Digital GR camera, leather case, battery, charger, box, manual. The camera has a 28mm lens with built in flash, takes 8MP images in RAW or smaller file sizes in JPG. JPG's save much quicker than RAW files due to the camera's on-board buffer. Uses SD cards for memory. The buffer was increased in the GRII model that followed this one. Many seem to like the B&W JPG images better on this one than the GRII. Very film like B&W right from the camera. Very compact. Excellent condition. Has a hot shoe to mount an external compact 28mm Voigtlander viewfinder (not included). That is the best way to use this camera for street shooting. Price $275. Canon G9 digital camera, 2 batteries, charger, box, manual. The camera has a 35-210 zoom lens, built in flash, takes 12.1MP images in RAW and smaller file sizes in JPG. Excellent condition. Has Richard Franiec's custom grip installed and black ring. The grip makes it easier to hold the camera. The grip is attached with an adhesive. It can be removed. The black lens ring replaces the one supplied by Canon that has a big silver stripe on the front. It was easier to replace the ring that use "black tape". Great pocket camera for a bigger pocket. Takes good images with a wide zoom range. Only caveat is that the LCD screen image is difficult to view if you wear polarizing sunglasses outside. This was changed on the G10. Uses SD cards for memory. Price $ 400. Really Right Stuff L plate for Canon G9. Excellent condition. Permits you to mount the camera horizontally or vertically on a tripod head. Protects the camera bottom and side. $75. Canon 5D SLR full frame digital camera, body cap, 2 batteries, charger, box, manual. Takes 12.8MP images in RAW and smaller file sizes in JPG. Excellent condition with only 5000 exposures on its counter. This was my first entry into full frame digital photography. Uses CF cards for memory. No disappointments here with resolution or low light capability. Leica R lenses with an adapter or Canon L lenses work well. $1400.
