Canon 50D Photography Kit - Like New - $899

[nogaro]

Ok, so I checked and there is no photoholics or cameraholics or even visualholics. So, here goes

For sale is a kit including all the items mentioned below. Some of them are BNIB as mentioned. The camera and lens are about 4 years old, but weren't used a whole lot and are in excellent condition.

-Canon EOS 50D (battery and charger included, all original packaging included). The shutter count is 11365 and firmware version is 1.0.7. The expected shutter life of a 50D is 100,000, so it has 89% left!
-Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS lens (all original packaging included)
-Canon Speedlite 430EX II with Omni Bounce (with case and all original packaging included)
-Brand new CF card - Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB memory card ($149.99 + tax on Amazon)
-Brand new CF/SD card reader - Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual slot reader ($33.95 + tax on Amazon)
-Lowpro camera case

Price: $899 incl. shipping & PP.

The picture below is of everything included. If you need additional pictures, please let me know. I'd like to sell the whole thing as a kit, but will consider splitting out certain items.

I think it would be helpful to post your Canon body total exposures count - check your camera manual/google on how to find it.
We do have few people around here interested in photography, but you probably shouldn't stop here.
I'd recommend posting your ad here:

For much wider and specialized team of folks and others photography centric sites and trust me - there are tons of these:

https://www.photography-forum.org/forums/the-trading-post-forum.28/

and lastly, slightly rude, but anyhow - IMHO without the fancy CF card (plus reader and case), i'd think the good value for the set would be about $750, but good luck selling the lot.

Thanks, BSA. I'll look up how to find the total exposures count. Those other websites should prove helpful too.

If someone is not interested in getting the CF card or reader or some other part of the kit, I'm glad to entertain offers. It's just easier to sell the lot as a whole, but either way works.

not exactly apples to apples since numbers for 50D are missing, but based on closest relative 30D:

You camera still has plenty of life in it. With less than 10% of total average lifespan shutters have been used so far.
If I didn't have already married to Nikon stuff, I might be very tempted.
a Rec to new owners is to check out Magic Lantern firmware for 50D.

I do sell a good amount of audio gear on CL. I've posted the camera there too. Never heard of POTN until BSA potned it out...I mean pointed it out

Feel free to make me an offer on the entire kit or parts of it. It's like a "license to steal"
