Here are some perfectly good cameras for for donation to charities I would like to support. They are hardly used, in great mint condition. If you are a charity in Singapore (only), feel free to contact me via the QuickContact Tab or the Contact page (specify which camera you prefer). An acknowledgement letter from the charity’s head on the official letterhead, will be required. All legitimate and genuine Singapore requests are considered, although priority will be given to charities that have more pressing needs.
Fujifilm X100 Pro Rangefinder Camera
This is a highly acclaimed professional rangefinder camera for those who love the compact feel of rangefinders, with an APS-C class sensor and a fast F/2 fixed wide-angle lens. The image quality is sensational with great bokeh, with a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder. One of the great features of the X100 is the built-in ND (neutral density) filter, found only on professional cameras, so that you do not need to screw on ND filters when you are shooting moving water and river streams, or in very bright sunlight. Unlike traditional DSLRs, the shutter is virtually silent, and is great for street photography. The camera is compact and unobstrusive.
