anyone need a DSLR?

[Raj_55555]

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

I vote for raj too

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.

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.

Guys, I'm speechless. Really! When I looked at this thread, I responded without even looking at the replies. Now that I've read it all, quite a few times, I just can't believe it. I've honestly never expected such a response, I'm really really grateful for the support I've received :blushing:. You guys have literally made my day.

Robbins & Darkshadow, not much more I can say without sounding ridiculous but irrespective of whether I have a DSLR or not (ever), your gesture will not be forgotten. Thank you so much guys. :sillysmi:

Is it weird that I didn't stop looking after the first 30 seconds? :lmao:

BTW hearty congratulations on passing your exams.

Me, too!! Me too!! I'll happily kick in on the "ship a DSLR to Raj" project! Not only do I like his pictures, I like his sense of humor, and his participation on TPF. I know THIS is not a donation thread, but can we just give one of those cameras to Raj anyway?? ;-)

Wait, Raj doesn't have a DSLR? Wow. I had no idea. If I have a few bucks come time, I'd be willing to throw down some for that shipping as well.

This just keeps getting better :goodvibe:

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.

Hopefully some of those people will see this thread and make themselves known.

What I will do is let this thread run a few days. If there is enough interest to keep the thread visible on the forum, I'll consider it interest enough to pick a body and lens to donate and make an official thread for it. If this thread falls to the back of the line, I'll stick the cameras back in the closet and pick something else to donate.

I vote Raj FWIW. Seems like a good dude and I'm sure he would appreciate it.

I believe voting has been attempted in other donation threads, and pixmedic wrote that only he and his wife will make the sole decision on who gets what. While I agree that giving a DSLR to Raj would make sense, there is another responder in the mix as well. Good luck!

I think there needs to be a cage match free for all. Everything goes. Last man standing gets it.

I have a friend who lives in a foreign country, where wages are much lower, who really can't afford a dslr.
If you have a working dslr and lens, weigh it and let me estimate costs of shipping.

I wouldn't mind having one of those DSLR body's, I am currently using a Nikon FE and several lenses that I bought many years ago. I thought about selling it but, no one is interested in the old film cameras. With the generous gift of a Nikon DSLR body I could use the lenses I have now and purchase lenses for the DSLR at a later time.

Thanks
Bob

fma. Eskrima and kali. Course i haven't picked up a stick in that sense.. in over a year and its been years since i studied formally. you might win. But then again, taekwondo isn't a art its a sport. My little girl is in taekwondo. It kind of cute . (just messn with ya)
i would prefer you have one first anyway you seem to have a larger need. im just looking for a backup body and something else for a toy, for my wife to shoot with me. That kind of thing..

I put my money on you then,well unless someone cheats.You know, like bringing a gun to a knife fight. I took taekwondo when I was younger, much younger.It's amazing how the body changes and how flexible you become then the gymnastic ability starts to form.Next you know you can rap your legs around your head,a couple of times.:lmao: I try those things now,I will be in the intensive care unit.
