Nikon D5000

Okay I want to know if it is easy to fix a loose lens housing for this camera because I can get it from Insurance Salvage at a real bargain.

wouldn't insurance replace the camera?

I believe that is why he's getting it cheap. The insurance company is selling it off to recoup some of their losses.

oh right... i would think you should call Nikon and ask them how much a replacement "lens housing" is.. you might have to show them what you are talking about.
it could be that the camera was dropped with a lens on and it bent or broke something else inside the camera. how much is cheap by the way?

Yes I work for an Insurance Administrator.

R300-- Cheap
However it does exclude a battery and charger but I can get a battery and charger from bid or buy

 

[StonerStuart]

ok that is cheap. Why not get two then, one for use and one for spares.

Well it turns out that the Body is perfect it was just the Lens that was broken, so I now own a Nikon....

 

[MadMailMan]

Schweeet!! Have fun.

Damn. Hook a brother up if something like that comes past again.

Looking to upgrade my body. Really serious about it.

Well Sold it for R4000 so made a nice little profit

Nice. It's advisable to use a decent hand sanitiser after handling a Nikon. I've heard they're contagious.
