So this morning this thought popped into my head. Jei just sold his PSP so that he could turn around and use the money that he’d made off his PSP, plus a little extra, get a newer shinier model. Sure he lost some cash in the process but it’s SHINY.

Honestly, I was just toying with the idea so I put up “Does anyone want to buy my camera?” as my away message. When I came home today I was surprised to see that quite a few people were interested. I guess I just wasn’t sure I’d be able to sell it without a huge hassle (read: signing up for ebay or amazon etc etc). New the S3 IS is selling for about $300-320. I honestly have no idea why. The S5 IS is $375. If you’re going to spend $300, you might as well spend the extra $75 to get the newer model. So, if you were looking to buy the S3 IS new, don’t. =D

Anyway, the lowest price for an S3 IS used and in good condition is $250, which is what I’m offering. Obviously I think everyone knows I’ve treated that camera like a baby, and it’s in great working condition. And I want to be honest with you, I’m doing this so I can shell out an extra hundred and get the newer model. If you are looking for a great camera, and want to shell out the extra money, you should get the newer model too. But if you want a good digital camera that is sturdy, does video as well (all my YouTube videos), I’m your man. Woman. Whatever.

There is a small difference between the S3 IS and the S5 IS, I’ll be honest. It’s the megapixels. Why do I feel I need a better megapixel camera when I have a Digital Rebel? I don’t know. I honestly have no idea. This must be what it’s like to be a camera nerd. I must be on the verge of camera nerd-dom obsession. Or maybe I was already on the edge and this is my first step towards the no-going-back-zone.

Whatever, if anyone’s interested, let me know. I’m still not so sure I am going to do this, but if anyone is really excited about the idea and would like to, I’ll do it. But… she’s my baby, my first digital camera so you better treat her well. =)
