I have been after a sb800 for a while now and I finally found a used one for a fair price. I arrange to meet the guy and minutes before I am to meet him, he calls and says a battery puked in it and it doesn't work. I told him I'd still like to see it and I offered 50bux. 30 seconds with a dremel polisher and some compressed air and it's good as new. So now I'm rockin' the d800 to its capacity.
