Just curious; What is so "outdated" about the DC500 other than being able to replace it w/a new one? I am just wondering as it is getting closer to the point of where i'll be replacing my old DC500 that "overheated":depressed:
I used mine for 2 years & the only issue that I had was the shutter lag. The battery life was not an issue after Don told us about the 1200ma battery on EBay.
Other than the higher resolution of a DC800 or DC1000, Is there any reason to upgrade?

I just posted a complete DC500 for $200 plus shipping (probably <$20) - everything in great condition - not to mention, I'm including a bunch of SD cards.

PM if interested.

No one else has said, huh? I'm sure the newer ones are nicer in other ways and a new warranty is worth a lot too; I think the DC1000 shoots higher res video, or maybe they both do? Starting off with a 1 mp, then a 3, now a 5 - I'm just not eager to start over again with an expensive replacement. My views may be more resistant because I have my DC500 & strobe, a Canon 6mp with housing that I can't sell for enough to bother with, and a 5340s in another DC500 housing for back up. Kinda camera poor here.

Complete? Not with a strobe I don't guess? That makes 3 here on SB I guess for around that price, and it's a reasonable one I guess. I see where one went for $299 on ebay this month, but he started at $25 and took his chances; he would have hated it if it'd sold for $50. Another one is listed for sale but not getting bids because of the $100 starting price & Reserve; everyone hates those. A couple of others sold too cheap this month, I think. Maybe a bad month now for selling used cameras. I think I'll get tired of looking at my Canon and offer it in the spring when people are plannign vacation details. Good luck.

I'm not really in a hurry - just thought I would list it in case someone wanted one for a gift or for an upcoming trip - otherwise, I'll wait until spring when these become more valuable. I can ship it quickly from work.

No strobe for that price.

I am upgrading to a DC1000 (my Santa gift). But the DC500 still takes good pictures.



This is from last week in Curacao - unretouched.

Thanks to all...The mission is complete. I got a Vivitar 5340s on ebay for $25 with shipping...Yahoo!!!!

Parrothead...
Nothing is wrong with the camera...I use it as my back up. I got stung by the UW photography bug and started to expand the way I take pictures now (raw, manual exposures, ect) so I upgraded to a Olympus sp350. I still love the ease of the DC500...and take it with me on the days I don't want to really work at photography, just take pictures of the dive....

Well how about that. Didn't think there were any left. Glad you kept looking. Looks like it was listed a few days into this thread. Cool.
