While the newer cameras are pretty on battery use a professional wouldn't leave for an assignment without at least two backup batteries. Years ago I purchased what I would call a third party battery for my D3x. It failed almost immediately; depleated quickly, wouldn't hold a charge, almost useless and I threw it out. As a pro I cannot afford to suddenly be without power so, in my book, a genuine Nikon battery is essential.

Lots of features , smaller and lighter than previous models
For years I've worked with wireless devices from the stone age (80's) Wow, what a difference. I haven't yet explored all there is to offer. The options are numerous. I like the ability to split triggering into groups and still having access to a PC plug. I hesitated to use the previous generations of Pocket Wizard because of their huge unwieldy size and potential for snapping off at the hot shoe. My one and only complaint (so far) is how quickly they go through batteries.

503 CW- kit appears to be in excellent condition
This is a classic case of a serious amateur photographer who has knowledge of the best camera out there. The camera looks to be well cared for and has seen little use. This is a camera you can create some beautiful images with. The polaroid back is very useful in creating some careful studies. The 80 and 150 lens are the perfect lenses to start with. Hasselblad prices are more affordable now than ever because of the digital revolution. These cameras can be paired with digital backs. Many photographers shoot film then scan the large negative to yield a beautiful file better than most pro-sumer digital 35's. I already own 3 Hasselblads and would love to have a recent manufactured camera like this.
