Nikon D70 D70s DIGITAL SLR - PERFECT STARTER!!!

***Revised

 - AUSTRALIAN BUYERS ONLY -

This camera is in amazing condition, and has been taken great care of since its NEW purchase in late 2005. I purchased it for exactly rrp$2000. I have only removed the lense 2 or 3 times but replaced immediately so the chance of there being dust in the camera body is basically NIL. The 18-70mm lense has had a clear filter screwed onto it since purchase so is in NEW condition. The LCD is also in ace condition due to having a clip-on protector since purchase (the plastic protector is slightly chipped but NOT THE ACTUAL CAMERA ;)

It comes with the original 18-70mm NIKKOR lense, as well as:

- Lowepro Camera Case (space for camera&lense + 2 additional lenses [extra lenses not included])
- Battery Charger, Lens Cap, Lithium Battery, Software, Strap, Video Cable
- Plain Filter (FOTAR rrp 44.95)
- *2X CF Memory Cards (Sandisk ExtremeII 512mb *+ 1GB Fujifilm)
- SanDisk CF memory card reader
- *Original Box WITH user guides for Camera body & Lense + Quickstart Guide

Am happy to answer any questions about the camera :)

I am very UNHAPPY about selling this camera but need the finance. This is the honest reason, I do not intend to deceive or sell a dodgy piece of junk. Happy bidding. Oh and if you purchase with BUYITNOW I will throw in my tripod as well. Good luck!
