Great starter camera for someone who wants to learn without putting too many clicks on their main camera. Loved using this Sigma 30mm f/1.4 AF lens. This was my favorite lens.

Includes:


Condition sold AS IS. Camera tested. Fair to Good Condition. Camera was primarily used as a headshot camera over the course of about five years. This is NOT a D3 camera. This is a D300 camera. Returns not accepted.

IMPORTANT: The main input dial sticks a bit. It seemed to improve a bit after testing it a bit - it has been sitting unused for a few years. That issue is pretty much solved when you add the battery grip as the input dial on the grip works fine. Also, missing the lens mount cap. Note, the covers for some of the inputs (like the trigger release). Condition as is and cannot attest to camera life in the future.
