Used Canon S2 IS

I've had this camera since early summer, and I am selling it because I recently bought a 20D. It is perfect for a starting photographer that doesn't want to pour lots of money into an all-purpose camera with some zoom.

This camera comes with most of the original contents. Regretfully, I loaned the drivers cd to a friend (for the Canon Photostitch Software) and he never returned it. I have a copy of the installation files for the photostich software, and I never used canon's included software because I use a memory card reader and Photoshop. The SD memory card and original batteries are still in their shrinkwrap.

As soon as I bought the camera I bought two lens hoods from Lensmate. These lens hoods, IMO, should be included with the camera in the first place. Unlike the aftermarket hoods available from canon, these are aluminum and the color matches that of the S2. The lens hoods not only allow one to attach filters to the camera, they also protect the element from damage during use. Also important, they provide something to hold on to when you shoot. Both of the lens hoods came with end caps, but since I always keep one of them on the camera, I lost one end cap.

At the same time I bought the lens hoods, I bought three filters for the camera. All three filters are Hoya, one is a Polarizer, one is a UV, and the final one is 1/2 ND4 for landscape photography. The lens hoods and filters cost a little over $150 on the lensmate site, but are very worth it.

Circular Polarizer (Double Coated) New All Silver 58mm
52mm HMC UV
1/2 NDx4 filter

The camera is in decent condition, but it is well used. It looks better in person than in the pictures below because I used flash to really bring out the scratches. I have taken about 10k pictures with it. The glass is in PERFECT condition because I have had a filter over it during the entire length of the camera's life. It takes pictures like a champ. Pictures of the camera are included below.

Pictures of the camera are available HERE

Also for sale is a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card. This card is an 80x and in perfect condition.

PRICES:
Camera and all accessories (except 2gb SD card) - $480 OBO
Camera and Lens Hoods and Bag, no filters - $440 OBO
Camera only - $420 OBO
SD card - $140 OBO

I am also interested in trades for a Canon 85mm f/1.8 Lens + Cash.
All prices include shipping. Note: I cannot sell the SD card before the camera.

These prices are what I deemed fair from scouring through Ebay. Keep in mind I am absolutely open to offers.
Please contact me at RAVIX475@GMAIL.COM with offers. I use Gmail to organize my sales.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I don't have very much built up heat, but I have sold things at www.overclockersclub.com and I've bought from www.fredmiranda.com. I also bought a radiator here from 2fresh. If you have incredible heat, I'll ship first. Either way, I am not out to scam you. :)

Finally, a few pictures from the camera:

Price reduced on camera. This would make a great Christmas present for an aspiring photographer.

Also, this camera has incredible macro. It can focus on anything from 0cm to infinity. This means that if you let dust collect on the lens, it could focus on that!!
 
Yes, this camera supports picbridge. It runs on very new technology as it was released brand new this year.

And yes, I captured that fish. All of those photos are straight from the camera, no post processing. I can send you about 20 more fishy pics from that day if you don't believe it. :)
 
Leaving to work bump. Please bump for looking. And make me an offer. I'll even respond to lowballs, so its worth a shot. :)
 
This is over $700 worth of camera and accessories and it is only a few months old.

bump.
 
Bump for a really awesome Camera kit.

If i had the money id buy it for myself. But with christmas coming up i need to spend money on other people.

If its around after christmas it would be awesome, but at that price i cant see it staying around much longer.

Jump on this deal fellow [H] members.
 
Thanks RushW2. Unfortunately I'll be forced to ebay it soon. I need the money for Christmas too. :)
 
hey man, this is chris (preppy @ bimmerforums.com)

Ive been trying to email you back but apparently there is no response back from you. Maybe we should try PMing?
 
Payment done (after a long exhausting day of traveling :()

Thank you! I look forward to getting this awesome camera (it's no 20D though ;))
 
Recieved the item today. Eric made sure I got the item before Christmas, and was very honest and courteous throughout the whole transaction. Everything was as described and the camera works flawlessly thus far. Excellent.

Eric, don't hesitate to use me as a reference for your future transactions. Thank you, and happy holidays. :)
