JVC GZ-MC500 Digital Media Camera

Recommended Posts

Bought for the Dragonball last year and for my holidays. Used it for the Dragonball and one holiday so sod all use really. Don't want it to gather dust any longer. I will check on accessories later and will provide photo/more info on request.

 

This item has no marks, scratches, defects or anything else wrong with it. With all the accesories listed I am looking for £500 delivered to your door. I must have spent about a grand getting it all so this is half price.
