What's the best deal you've gotten on a camera? Just got this at Walmart for $130. I think it was a display model they were trying to get rid of. They tried to sell it for $200 but I negotiated with them on the price. It didn't come with a lens or battery but assuming everything works did I get a good deal?

Uh, take a good look at the mirror and sensor, when Walmart doesn't lock their display models down I give the insides a wet willy -
I don't know why
I know it's wrong.

i hid a minolta maxxum 3000i back in the electronics lockup until it was reduced to $5.00. i still have it.
D7200 in local thriftshop for 550€, should I cop?
Probably Rolleiflex MX + Rollei 35 (made in Germany) + Rolleiflex SL35 + Carl Zeiss Planar 85mm f/1.4 + a bunch of less interesting stuff for €200.
By coincidence I found the listing 2 minutes after it went up and immediately sealed the deal.

Some store (I think it was best buy) had a mirrorless camera on display without a lens attached. I picked it up to look at the layout of the back, and accidentally touched the sensor when I returned it to the display. I felt so dirty. It's just not something you do. Interesting feeling though. A once in a lifetime experience.
Paid 1488 for my Df

A pristine Pentax K1000 fully functional for $5.

The camera shop in my town is run by a pretty cool guy, but I worry that he might be going out of business with how he runs shit.
>pentax k7- was $200
>pentax-m 50mm lens- was $20

I was on vacation in Florida, went to Disney World (part of a "team building" bullshit thing for the company I work for)
Waiting in line at the Pirate ride
European guy, sounded German, but a bunch of those countries sound similar, taking pictures as the boats came up to the loading area
He was standing up, facing the others in the boat
Ride people were yelling for him to sit down
He puts his camera in his bag, some kind of purse sling thing
He was still backwards and the boat stopped, he fell over into the 2nd row, legs up in the air, ass up, lots of yelling
They get him upright, he has a bloody nose, everyone off the ride
My group gets on, lots of laughing, I am in the 2nd row, against the exit side
Look down by my feet, dudes camera is on the floor
Ride starts, we get to the place with the banjo guy
Look around, reach my arm down and grab the camera
Into my pocket it goes as we pass under the talking head
I was going to turn it in when we got back to the load area
As we arrive Euro dude is yelling at the ride people and security/medical crew
He is going to sue for his bloody nose, get them all fired for not doing their jobs
Just walked right passed them all
Kept the camera
Use it all the time

You stole his camera (and his photos) because you saw him make a fool of himself?

Nope, I was at a local flea market, the owner is a friend of mine. A guy brought that lens something like 6 years before and the initial price was 200€. I don't know if it's the same in your country, here in Italy each month the price of the items in flea markets drops by 20-50% to sell it as fast as possible to guarantee space for other objects. So said the price label hasn't been changed so its price dropped to 10 cents. The owner said "man, just take it". Lucky as hell.
In the same place I bought a Prontor long exposure shutter for 3€ and a box full of 126 film, around 30 cartridges, for 1€. I love that place.
I also bought a rare f/2.8 Ferrania Condor I, a really good Italian rangefinder camera from the 50s, for just 4€ in perfect working and cosmetic conditions. Sometimes in the deepest corners full of dust there are some treasures waiting to be reused.
Got my Nikon FE for about $30

Nice! Also, what do you think about Venice? It's pretty popular outside of Italy
>>3106090
It's a beautiful city for sure, even here in Italy is apreciated for its unique landscapes.
It's damn expensive, though and especially during summer all the canals stinks like a clogged sewer.
From mid october to mid april it's the best period to visit Venice, it costs less and it doesn't stink that much.
