No, it's not for sale.
My dad's got a pile of cameras, F3, F5, D70, he's crazy. So he was using his D70 which is quite heavily used since he runs a business and it just crapped out during a shoot for the city. It happened to him before and he paid somewhere between $200-$400 to have it fixed but it's now in full manual and won't do anything in auto. It won't select aperature, ISO, ASA, nothing automatically. But it does work in full manual just fine with manual focusing, user selected shutter speed, stuff like that. It's like the computer inside is dead or something, anyone hear of this? I'm trying to convince him to ship it out to me so I can use it and maybe get it fixed and I'm wondering if anyone can diagnose it.
When it quit working he went out and bought a D200 so that's his new toy. The D70's collecting dust with the rest.
