One FS100 body. Lens mount has signs of abrasion, and the white paint on the push-auto focus button is gone (so you see no text, just the black finish). Some minor signs of normal use on the handle mount and tripod mounts. But otherwise the unit is in good cosmetic condition.

Functionally the camera is perfect. I just shot two weddings on it in the past month. It has 110 hours on it with firmware version 2. I updated the firmware almost immediately after I bought this camera in June, so 80 hours is accurate. (I'd previously bought and sold another FS100. Tried the AF100 and didn't like it. Went back to the FS100.)

Physically, the camera has two issues. A) The spring of the FMU compartment is stuck from getting sand into it. So I can't remove the dummy piece from it. B) The spring of the battery release is also stuck from sand. So that right now the battery will pop out if you shake the camera, and you have to secure it by sticking a folded piece of paper into the space on the left. Minor issues, and I honestly believe they can be solved easily if you take the camera to a professional cleaner. There's no sand at all in any other part of the camera. Again all the electronics are perfectly functional.

Also, the unwieldy viewfinder has been SHORTENED a la the well-known procedure (google it). But this is reversible (I've saved all the screws and stuff) should you desire it. The shortening shouldn't be a problem unless you are severely far-sighted. I am slightly short-sighted and the focus adjustments are perfectly fine for me.

Mic and mic mount are both unused. Manual and cables all unopened and unused. Box is pristine. Comes with *all* original accessories in the FS100U kit, plus one off-brand extended-capacity battery (bought on B&H).

$3300 by paypal, shipped to continental US.

Also selling the Sigma E-mount 30mm ($175 shipped) and 19mm ($160 shipped).

If you're outside the continental US we'll have to work out some other shipping fee. I estimate around $50 to most places on earth by USPS Int'l Priority.

Adding pictures. Note that I unscrewed the mic mount and tape measure knob from the front and removed the XLR protective flaps for my shooting convenience. They are NOT lost. I will put them back with the body before sending it.

Pictures also show the shortened loupe. Much better than the original, which tended to sway with I pressed the camera against my face.

Also, unfortunately no warranty (I bought this new buy from an ebay seller).

Also, hours are actually 110 hours, not 80 as previously stated. It was my mistake. Thanks.
