    Fair price for a new boxed Dynax 60 with 28-100 lens and stap?

    I have an opportunity to buy a new boxed Dynax 60 with lens and strap for £90 but can't see any sensible prices online to compare with.

    I have two Dynax 5s both with different faults. Wish I was a bit more technical as I'm sure I could put together one fully working model.

    I bought a new Dynax 40 body off ebay for £10 which is great for snapshots, have put a 35-70mm f4 on it and it performs really well. However I would like something with a few more features most importantly DOF preview.

    Would probably sell on the 28-100 lens as I already have what I need in that range, fortunately mostly bought before Sony induced price inflation.

    Would I be better off with an older used better spec model for a similar amount of money ie. 800si, 600si classic?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I don`t know where you live but a camera shop here has some Dynax cameras(7000,500i,7i and several more)for sale in the £60-£90 range.There are plenty around.Check here for specifications.

    You might also like to check out this page, which shows all the Dynax models in a table, with the ability to compare two or models for features.

    As far as price for the Dynax 60 is concerned, if it is from a shop, who will give some level of warranty, I would say it is a good deal for a new camera with lens - the last combo that KM put out, in 2004. Otherwise, I would haggle some.

    Thanks for the advice.
    A late update. Having a 10 week old baby slows you down a bit.
    After trudging round a couple of camera shops and being very tempted by a 800si for £99, I've actually purchased a 7000i off Ebay.
    Happened to be browsing late one night and 2 came up for sale at the same time both with 1 bid each at £12.50 with minutes left. I went for the one that looked in the best condition and am not disappointed. Total paid came in at just under £23 including postage. It seems to be in excellent condition was in original box with instructions with only a few signs of use around the grip.
    It feels really good in the hand and while not having a DOF preview meets all my other requirements. The viewfinder is superb in comparison to the Dynax 5 and 40.

    Just waiting to see how the first prints look and looking forward to putting £70 towards a decent telephoto lens.
