My grandma is visiting, and in the mail today came the Pentax K1000 manual SLR camera I bought of Ebay recently. It didn't come with a manual, but I was able to pretty much figure out the basics. Anyways, I was testing it out, and my grandma randomly started babbling on about her supposed Nikon SLR camera she has at home. This was very surprising, seeing as she normally has no knowledge in technology at all. She told me that about 10 years ago, she wanted to get in to photography, so bought a Nikon and multiple lenses. She never ended up pursuing this interest, and only used the camera a couple of times. The Pentax I bought was $70.00 (it came with a case, the lens, a Macro lens, and a flash), but today my grandma told me she would give me the Nikon and all of it's equipment for a "small fee". I don't know what kind it is, and who knows if it even works (she really doesn't know much about cameras), but this seems like it might be a better deal. So, should I sell the 'new' Pentax and hope for the Nikon, or should I just keep the Pentax?
