Help me decide on a dslr
I was all set to pull the trigger on the 5DMkII, but then I came across this setup on ebay. What do you folks think? Is this a good deal?
- Full frame dslr
- 2 compact flashes
- battery (according to the seller it never needs recharging)
- A Kodak point n shoot. This must be a really new model as it's not on
Dpreview yet.

You can check them out here -

Happy Thursday,
Paul

What a STEAL! Looks like a great deal to me-I've been looking all over for those no-charge nuke batteries. If you do get this setup, will you sell me one of those sweet glass block flashes :toast:

I don't see any memory cards with it -- I'd pass. Also, where is the neck strap?

Yea, this part of their new product line, along with "aromatography." Check out the link.

Has the bidding ended? Did I win? Does it come with a case? Will it go through the security gate at DIA? Is there more than one and finally, does it come with a warranty?

You guys are really too much. I'll have to be ready this time next year. The folks on the Avian forum did out do you but they are for the birds. :jump:

Those Avian guys sure are gull-ible! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I loved some of the early responses. :biggrin:

The best thing about the set-up, it comes with Nuclear Power. That might be worth it alone. You better package those Paul.
