Almost a month since I won and paid for the auction it is in my possession. FedEx was so irresponsible with this shipment. I will very careful to not use them again unless absolutely necessary. The package sat over a week at a vacation cabin nearby, that the owners use a few times a year! Good thing it was packed very well. I took the battery and card out and left the compartment doors open as well as took the lens cap off to acclimate to the house temperature for a couple of days.

So, the camera arrived, a little dusty but it cleaned up nicely. It had a Tiffen UV filter on the lens and was a little tight to take of. That was good because once it did there was a perfect lens there! The LCD and EVF look great as well as the LCD top screen. It came with an OEM strap but no lens shade. Also a SanDisk 512MB CF and a dead battery. I had to order a charger that came yesterday. I charged the battery and took it out for a test run today. The LCD flickered a little when I first turned it on but settled down later.

These are just a few snaps, nothing fancy. Seems to work just fine. And, can I say, that EVF is awesome!

Good to see you finally got and are having some fun with it .

With regards to the lens shade , the Dimage 7hi , A1 , A2 & A200 all use the same one .

The Dimage 7 & 7i shades are out of the same mould and will fit just the same but are silver rather than black on the outside .

They'll do the same job though , these all come up on ebay often enough and cheap enough .

In the meantime just share the one from the A200 with them .
