Hi all,

A couple of days ago I came across a used but very well preserved S5 Pro DSLR. It's shutter count is only 5.200, the camera came with an AF-S Nikon 18-200mm. VR (first version), a Nikon SB-600 flash, two batteries, two CF-cards (16GB Kingston Elite Pro and 2GB SanDisk Ultra II) and a nice Tamrac back-pack. Everything looking as new and including all the original boxes, cables, manual, etc.

The S5 was one of those cameras I always regretted selling, but at the time I had to in order to fund the purchase of a Nikon D800. However, this was a chance to once again add an S5 to my set-up and I bought this complete set for a very reasonable (at least in my view) price of € 325. I'm really looking forward to playing around with the S5 again, 7 years after I sold my original one.

I feel the same about my D300 (same generation Nikon, I believe). Fantastic camera - Hard to believe they're so cheap on eBay these days.

The D300 is actually of a later generation. The S5 was based on the D300’s predecessor, the Nikon D200.
