Congratulations Dinkar! I am sure you will enjoy the camera. It is always
amazing to me when folks who are selling a camera don't invest a little time in
cleaning it up, it can make such a difference in appearance and your ability to
sell for a good price. If you are like me, you may find that the non-working hot
shoe is not an issue, I pretty much always shoot with the flash mounted off
camera, either completly or via a grip.
