Selling my first digital camera, which has served me well but is just not being used anymore in favor of my new ones.

The camera is around 6 years old and has been very well taken cared of, with nothing that could be classified as a scuff, just tiny signs of wear here and there. Without scrutinization it would almost pass as new, with the exception of, drum roll, the lens cap which has signs of wear. The body has 0 damage on it, and once you pick the camera up you'll know it's quality.

The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens is flawlessly mint, nothing short of perfect. It's real fast, f2.0, and sometimes even puts my s6000's lens to shame. It shoots really well in low light.

The camera works flawlessly, and is a great tool for someone who wants more manual control than a point-and-shoot. This camera was pretty top tier for its time, with full manual controls and very high quality optics. I used to think of it as my pocket rangefinder because of it's build-it is really solid.

I'm really just selling it because I've outgrown it in favor of my newer gear, but I'll honestly be sad to see it go. I hope someone has fun learning how to shoot manual with it.

See reviews here (http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_s85-review/), here (http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/S85/S85A.HTM), and here (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscs85/), as well as real-world user reviews here (http://search.reviews.ebay.com/_W0QQfvcsZ1787QQsoprZ30007605QQupvrZ3).

Included:
-128mb Sony Memory Stick
-Sony InfoLithium Battery (Holds charge well, still used as primary)
-Digital Concepts (3rd Party) Lithium Battery (InfoLithium compatible, i.e. shows time left for shooting in minutes, used only twice so far for backup, works flawlessly and holds longer charge than Sony)
-Sony AC Adapter
-Samsonite Worldproof camera carrying case
-G.H. Bass Blue carrying case for AC Adapter / accessories
-Original box, CDs, etc. except, sadly, users manual (I am in the process of moving and I vow to the eventual buyer that as soon as it turns up, I will mail it out free of charge. That will hopefully be within the next few months but I am not really sure if I didn't throw it out. Sorry in advance if that is a deal-breaker)
