Canon P: Chrome-Black-Olive

[raid]

If you like the Canon 7, go for it. There is no love affair with any camera for me.
If the 7 plus 50/1.8 is below $200, get it.

Gotcha. If there is a chance to get a 50/1.8 AND a 7 body for, say, $150 ...

It is a matter of luck.
Don't bid until there are 5 seconds left on the clock.
Trust me on this one.

Prices will jump in the last few seconds of the auction, but following Raid's advice I'd go for the second of the Canon 7/50/1.8 lens combos (I no longer bid on any item from a seller w/ less than 100% satisfaction rating).

There will be good auctions every week, so do not panic.

Oh, I won't. It is a matter of disposable cash. Come to think of it, I need to dispose of some gear - for some paypal cash ...

Post it on the RFF classified.

Agreed. When Bingley can meet me and take pictures of my P and some other cameras, you'll see it here on RFF Classifieds.

I just picked up an incredibly clean P for a steal. The shutter looks great, only has a tiny bit of oil on it. The exterior of the camera is very VERY good, no bright spots or anything. I'm super stoked about it. Also pretty happy that my M-Grip fits it perfectly!

Now i need a good 50mm (ugh Jupiter8) to put on it! 🙂
I think it's funny how similar externally the P is to my M2:

What does the grip do for you ergonomically?

Here's some tips on photographing watches, but certainly good for cameras too: http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=123107
