Nikon d70

[05chapman05]

My friend offered to sell me a nikon d70 w/ non-working flash and a 28-90 lense for 235$ would this be worth buying. By the way this would be my first slr camera.

Hmmm... the price isn't bad, BUT if the flash isn't working, I'd be tempted to stay away just because you don't know what else is or might be wrong. As well, the D70 has a shutter issue which affects certain production groups requiring a replacement around the 15 - 20K actuation point (~$350).

That's a good price if the camera was flawless, but with a broken flash it's not worth it.
