Panasonic GS29

So I found a GS29 in a pawn shop for $120 with a bag, but no battery or charger. Given this is a $600 camera, should I haggle and try to get them down to like $75, and find a battery and get a fisheye for it? Or is it not good enough to be worth it? Batteries are $25 for a slim one and $50 for an extended one, plus charger, plus fisheye.

its not a 600 dollar camera. its worth about 50 bucks at most. use it for a capture camera

Everything I'm seeing online says otherwise. What makes you say its worth $50?

the gs500 only sells for around 300. thats the "best" of the GS series. I have a GS320 and it only goes for around 180, if that.

I was seeing them on like Amazon and stuff for like $600 new. So is it really only worth like $50? Is it still an alright camera for that price? Right now we're filming with a Flip UltraHD.

i think its only a 1 chip, so you aren't getting the 3ccd experience. basically your colors won't be that good and you won't like your footage. keep the flip make fledits

I can't find anything else that says otherwise, so you're probably right about the 1 chip. We don't film much anymore since our fisheye broke. We had the Opteka FlipEye, the magnetic one, and the magnet in it broke and Opteka refused to warranty it.
