anyone need a DSLR?

[pixmedic]

In celebration of passing my critical care exam, I have been rooting around the boxes in my closet looking for something nice-ish to donate.
I had been thinking of donating another camera+lens package, but I am not sure if there would be much interest in an older DSLR with new ones being pretty cheap nowdays. (not so much back in 2005)

So....before i go through the hassle of pairing up a camera and lens to donate....do we have any active (at least somewhat) members that would like to get into photography with a DSLR, but are currently unable to fund one? Anyone who is interested in photography and has been posting pictures with a P&S or bridge camera? If so, I will look into pairing up a decent combo to put up here, otherwise, I will probably fall back to more lighting equipment.

for anyone interested in a glimpse of the madness that is my closet, this is a box with a few bodies that arent being utilized anymore.
all are in perfect working condition, and EX+ condition overall.

Hello my name is Nestor Padua and I am actually desiring to acquire a DSLR camera (never had one) but I found it so expensive. I am interested in what you posted.

Again the charity of this guy is outstanding! I would feel like a king if I even had that collection, let alone having it shoved in the closet and considering donation.

His wife is a Pro, and they've been in the business for a while.

she started interning with a studio photographer (who did the occasional wedding) back in 2005. He was a friend of the family.
I got involved a few years later. (off and on)
we got a lot of his spare gear as he upgraded or bought extras. Plus, we bought stuff ourselves along the way. Until joining this forum, we had
pretty much kept everything that we had acquired. Nowadays though, we feel like it would be better served going to people that would use it again rather than sitting in our closet, and the TPF community presented us the perfect vessel in which to facilitate that.

so...thank you TPF!
