Not at this point. Not unless I sell the camera alone; trying to keep it all together.

-Ryan

I bought Sean's XL1S, and the camera was exactly as he described it. I also saw the extender lense and it is in perfect condition. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Thanks Sean.

Longtime DVInfo Member selling XL1S kit + others
I'm concentrating more on screenwriting these days so I don't have the time to produce anything right now. This should go to someone interested in MiniDV who doesn't want to buy at premium new price. I can't think of a better camera to get to learn how to use a complete modular camera system. It was a good education for me. Other than the "other items" listed at the bottom, I'm not interested in breaking up the original kit. It's too much of a hassle.

CANON XL1S KIT
CONTAINS:
XL1S
Zoom Lens 16x XL 5.5-88 mm IS
BP-930 Battery Pack
CA-910 Compact Power Adapter

WL-D32000 Wireless Controller
SP-100 Shoulder Pad
S-150 S-video Cable
STV-150 Stereo Video Cable
Lens Hood

PICTURES? I have to borrow someone's digital camera. So on special request I can do that. But if you live in Vancouver you can come by and handle it yourself. Just leave Guido behind.

Cash, bank draft ideally. Also will accept Paypal (and credit card paid to Paypal) if out of town buyer. Must verify ID at meeting / will do the same. Bank draft / money order / personal cheque must clear before handover. Preference to local buyers (Vancouver, B.C.) to avoid hassle of shipping, DVInfo members in Canada. EDIT: buyer must absorb Paypal usage fee.

Hey Robbie...me again... I erased your email address (ergghh). Would you please email me? Have someone who is interested. Thanks, R

[Bob Harotunian]

I have a purchased another battery that is better matched for our on-camera light system.

Hi Keith!

How is the kata rain cover? Did you use it under real rain conditions?

And are you ready to sell it alone?

[Robbie Smolinsky]

I sent you an email Roze, thanks!

Robbie

[Keith Loh]

No, I won't break the kit up. In Vancouver the XL1S is of no use without the Kata raincover.
