So this camera is really a diamond in the rough. I don't shoot it often enough to keep it, and I could use the dough more these days.
Camera works great, but has a big ugly wart. The big one is that the builtin flash sort of went haywire and I disabled it. See this thread for details:
(there was a url link here which no longer exists) ....So the builtin flash does not work and I used tape to hold the flash down (see pics). The hotshoe functions great, and I've used pocket wizards and SB-800's on it with no problems. Also this camera suffers from this somewhat common ailment of the shutter speed/aperture dial skipping around at times (see this youtube video for an example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyPXtsCIpBE). It works fine, but can take a little patience (like a couple of seconds longer) to go from f/4 to f/16. Two steps forward, one step back....
That said, I'm always surprised at how well this little camera performs. The lens is razor sharp and meter is dead-on in most situations. It's a little loud to focus, but it used infrared focusing and it's been super accurate for me. The images it produces are top notch. Here's a link to a few on my flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bpointr/tags/fujiga645/
So seeing as the camera isn't in mint condtion, I'm going to let this go for $200, plus shipping and fees, if any. Please ask any questions beforehand, as I'm selling this as-is.
Thanks!
