If you had the opportunity to buy a used Nikon F100 for $350, would you?

Question

I have an N65 right now and I need to upgrade. I don't know wether to spend $200 on an N80 or just $150 more for a much better camera.

Answer 1

Two things to do before you lay down your cash:



Check e-bay to see what comparable cameras have been selling for.



Get your hands on the camera, shoot a roll of film and get it processed to make sure all the sutterspeeds work, the lens focusses smoothly, their aren't light leaks, etc.



A bargain isn't as much of a bargain if the first thing you have to do is get it repaired.

Answer 2

Brand new ones in the UK are around £600 which is probably close to $900 or more.



$350 sounds like a very good deal.



It does sound too good to be true though.



Good luck in finding your next camera

Answer 3

150 more for better camera makes more sense to me

Answer 4

If it still works, yes I will buy it instantly.

Answer 5

no!! go for better camera...
