ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 July 16, 2003 I may have a chance to pick up a TR27 in almost new condition - is $500 a good price? What are you opinons on jumping it?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

quade 4 #2 July 16, 2003 TRV27 is sort of an older design (April 2002) but should still be quite useable if it's in good condition. The real issue is not how it looks, but how much it has been used. If kept inside a Bonehead dBox all its life, a camera can look almost new, but the tape transport inside the camera might be on its last legs. You -might- be better off in the long run by getting a new camera such as the TRV22, which can be had for about $550-$600 right now. Prices change weekly so shop around on-line.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blazetailman 0 #4 July 17, 2003 I'm using the 27 as my work horse camera. Tandems, freeflying, RW, and deck for editing tandems at the dz and at home. I got mine for $700 new and love the vale quality and features. Not top of the line but if lasts till some time mid season I'll be happy. Its taken some abuse as I'm hard on my equipment. no problems yet. I say this becasue the cameras weren't designed for the abuse and extremes of skydiving. my advice. get it. I think its better than the 22.www.canopyflightcenter.com www.skydivesac.com www.guanofreefly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
