Can I ask about a camera under this section?

It is a 12 month old Fugifilm 52pro digital SLR with a Nikon Fmount, 1/4000 to 30 sec shutter speed, 6.17 million pixel, dual slots smart media and microdrive and uses Windows XP. Is it any good, how much should I be paying for it?

Is it the S3 in the link or the S2?
Whats the lens on it dot (if any).
If its the S3 I would say anywhere between 800 and 1000 depending on the lens.
About 600 to 700 just for the body - about 150 less if its the S2.

oh, cheers for that gary it's the finepix S2 pro, no lense with it, the guy selling it says he paid 1400 quid a year ago and he wants 600 for it.

Offer 500 - settle for 550 IMO (600 sounds fair though if your not into bartering)
Lot of camera for the money and lots of lenses about that will fit.
Sounds good if you can afford it dot.

It has alot of extras with it but not a lense, still, if u think it is worth it I will get it, he has let me bring it home tonight to check it out but I am so scared of using it until i give him the money!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd ask to have a good go with it with a lens on dot!
You cant get a feel for it until youve taken a few shots with it.
The good thing with the nikon mount is that all nikon lens (old and new) will fit so you should be able to pick up a decent oldish lens quite cheap.
Bit jealous!
