FS: Sony NEX-6 + 18-55 + waterproof housing - $250 shipped/insured

Antithesis · Oct 8, 2016

I am selling a sony NEX-6. The camera is in good shape, everything works. We picked it up as a little backup video camera to work with our other sony's, but haven't used it in months. I purchased the body and lens separately, as I'd read that the 18-55 is quite a bit sharper than the 16-50 that originally came with the NEX-6. This is a great little camera, the Image Quality is pretty high. It's the same sensor from the D7000--having owned both over the years, I can say it's pretty similar. Camera has around ~16k actuations on it. Comes with the charging block, cable and original box and printed materials. Other than dust on the exterior, the camera has just a few small scuffs and signs of use. I give it a 8/10+. Only thing missing is the lens cap. I have the eyecup around somewhere, but haven't seen it in a while.

The housing is a Neewer housing. I used it a few times while snorkeling, and took it down to 20+ feet without issue. The video record button doesn't function, but all other functions work surprisingly well. Might just need to apply some silicon grease to the big o-ring, but it's still in good shape and seals fine as far as I can tell. This housing can be modified for the big dome wide-angles and flashes, I just never got around to doing it.

I will let the whole package go for $250 shipped. I live in PR, but it's still considered domestic via USPS and shouldn't be more than $15-20. Forgive the potato quality photos.

Just the housing. There is a little rubber knob on the inside of the housing that is supposed to push the video record button, and it broke off. All functions on the camera work.

Doh! I wasn't getting email notifications. Responding to PM's, item is still for sale.
