I have an Fz-5 that i would mostlikely sell when I get my d50. The problem is that the plastic protecting the screen is cracked. The LCD works totally fine, the damage is just cosmetic, but quite the cosmetic damage. So price wise for a perfect one what would i be looking at? and then taking into account the damage factor i would subtract anywheres from 50 to 100? Any help would be great. THanks

i'd agree with that; first reason being you'll have a hard time getting too much for damaged, used goods (even if it does work!). i'd bet on ebay you'd be lucky to get half it's used value. the other reason would be, will you really lug around a D50 plus lenses etc. all the time when you want or need it? though the fz5 isn't anywhere near a compact, in comparison it is much more portable than a D50. just my two cents!
