anyone need a DSLR?

I hope Raj_55555 sees this thread, I think he really wants a DSLR. Very Nice. I wonder what else lurks in that closet, a complete studio perhaps or maybe a small mom & pop camera store or another dimension, Twilight Zone.

I was the recipient of 2 of his filters last year, so thank you. 1 went to my college poor niece.
Secretly, I wonder if he won some huge lottery and is laying low...

I was going to suggest Raj_55555 as well - he takes nice pictures with what he has, I can imagine a DSLR in his hands.

I'll not only vote for Raj, I'll go one better. Since he's in India let me know what it's going to cost to ship overseas and I'll be more than happy to send a couple of bucks via paypal to you to help cover shipping.

Previously, our donations have been restricted to the US do to shipping costs, and the fact that we pay for shipping.
I don't know if that is going to change, as we don't really want to place the burden of shipping costs on someone else. I will revisit this policy with the wife if there is out of town interest from an active and contributing member.

Also, we would prefer that our donation not be turned into a contest where it looks like people are voting for the winner. We are more than happy to hear from people that might know potential recipients or their situation, but please keep it to PM's.

Nice one Robbins.:thumbup: I be willing to through a few dollars your way Paypal for Raj. Your nice of enough to donate. Just something to think about if no one in states gets it. Food for thought.

Well I know this isn't something you'd want to make a habit of, but in this case if you figure out the difference between what it would cost to ship CONUS and what it would take to ship to India, and I'll be more than happy to send you the difference via paypal to cover the cost. That way your policy can stay in place and we can do something nice for Raj.

First--Congratulations, pix, on becoming a Super-Certified Professional Amazing Fantabulous EMT Extraordinaire, or whatever it is they call that.

Second: I think there would DEFINITELY be plenty of interest for a decent, older basic DSLR here. I seem to see threads all the time where someone just has a point-and-shoot, or maybe a film camera and would like get a digital one but can't afford it. Every great once in a while, we even see threads where someone is having to sell their camera gear due to financial difficulties. It'd be especially awesome if your donation ends up helping one of those people to be able to keep doing photography.
