Up for sale is my underwater P&S camera kit consisting of a Sony DSC-W150 compact camera and its underwater case, Model MPK-WD. This is a very nice and simple set-up for the starter underwater photographer or snap-shot adventure diver. It is also very compact and well suited for traveling divers who are conscious about the amount of gear they carry around.
I bought this set from the Sony Store back in November 2008.
For more information concerning the Sony DSC-W150 camera, please click on this link: Specs of the Sony DSC-W150 Compact P&S Camera. This camera is in almost mint condition. It is well-kept and maintained. When not in use, it is always kept in its carrying case. It may have some hairline marks here and there but I could not notice any during a visual inspection. The camera works well since day one of ownership. It comes complete with the following:
Original box
User Manual
Battery Charger Model BC-CSGB
AC Power Cord for Battery Charger
Rechargeable Battery Model NP-BG1 (still holds power quite well) with plastic case
USB, A/V Cable for Multi-terminal Use
Wrist Strap
CD-ROM containing the CyberShot Application Software, Handbook, and Set-up Guide.
Extra camera accessories that will be included in the sale:
(1) Sony Accessory Kit: Padded carrying case and (1) spare Sony NP-FG1 InfoLithium Battery (still hold charge very well)
(1) Sony 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo MSMT4G with Memory Stick Pro Adapter.
(1) Sony 256MB Memory Stick Pro
(1) SanDisk 512MB Memory Stick Pro
The underwater case, Sony Model MPK-WD is in very good used condition. It is compatible with the Sony DSC-W150/W170, and W300 cameras. It has some hairline scratches on its body but the lens port is very clean. The hairline scratches are not noticeable underwater. The O-ring is always cleaned and lubricated every time the case is opened and before storing. The case is well rinsed after each use.
I use an Inon S-2000 underwater strobe (not included) with this housing so I have stuck a mounting block for fiber optic cable plugs in front of the case. It is a hook and loop (Velcro-like) mounting block that has a clear mating layer. The mounting block itself is black. So, if you don’t need the block, it can be easily removed but the clear layer is stuck to the housing using 3M heavy duty tape. The housing has no leaks and seals very well. It comes complete with the following:
Original Box
User Manual
Handstrap
LCD Hood
Flash Diffuser
Front Attachment A (for DSC-W300)
Rear Attachment A (for DSC-W300)
Front Attachment B (for DSC-W150/W170 Cameras)
Rear Attachment B (for DSC-W150/W170 Cameras)
A (slightly used) tube of Sony O-Ring Grease
A spare O-ring (Blue)
Spacer
Purchase Cost of Camera and underwater housing (new in 2008): $394.98 (plus tax)
Purchase Cost of Camera Accessories (new in 2008): $ 123.58 (plus tax)
Asking Price for the entire set: $ 375 (shipping & handling extra. I charge actual S&H costs. No mark-ups).
I will consider selling just the underwater housing for $ 135 (plus shipping and handling). However, I will not sell the camera separately.
Payment: Paypal only. I will absorb the Paypal fee.
No warranties expressed or implied. Sold as-is.
