Mines admittedly in better nick than that one, but I'd not sell it for less than a grand if I was starving, £800 would be a very good buy I reckon and wouldn't be surprised if he gets close to his asking price. To my mind, Quantum's hold value because a) they still perform pretty really well against new stuff, b) to me they are much nicer ergonomically than most things since, c) you can use rechargeable AAs in them which cost fuck all, and d) analogue video out. I'd honestly rather use a Quantum XQ than a Mk 1 Helion.
I did look at the condition of the body and thought it looked well-used…. hence why I thought he was a tad optimistic with his asking price…..🤔 As you say, they have things going for them over the early Helions but in that condition, you never know how long it’ll last. Fair enough, you can replace the shutter servo quite easily…took me longer to clean my mate’s before I took it apart to replace the servo.

Cheers
