you wanna sell me that 7d? i'll give you $50!
in all seriousness, looking at the 60D, i read that thread and i can't figure out how to do the loyalty thing...just call them and tell them i have a 30D i don't want anymore? is that going to get me more than selling on ebay?

No, what you need is a broken Canon digital camera, no matter how old or what type. When you have a broken camera, you call them up, and tell them about it. They will in turn offer you great deals on refurbished cameras. Lot's of people buy broken Canon's on Ebay for $20 or so, and then mail them to Canon and get a refurbished DSLR for a great price. 50D's seem a popular item for cheap for example.
Sorry, the 7D only has around a 1,000 clicks on it. It's probably still worth a tad more than $50 🙂 But I will be selling my mint Canon 18-200mm if anyone is interested. I think I used it once...

Me, too. I bought my wife one for Christmas.
She has been toting an ancient A-1 around the world for God knows how long. That thing feels like it weighs fifty pounds after it has been around your neck for an hour.

I had that lens for a few months, thought it would be a great idea...then i sold it on ebay. ended up getting smashed by UPS on the way, what a fiasco that was.

A-1, what an awesome camera. That was my dream back then. Or the T-90. But the 60D will definitely be a nice improvement in this digital world.

I shouldn't be calling it ancient. I gave it to her when we were first married.
It has been a great camera over ... hmmm ... a LOT of years.

I'm still really liking my 60D, and my T2i. I use the 60D with my big lens and keep my 15/85 on my T2i, it's better than changing lenses out all the time...I try to avoid doing that.
The 60D took more adjusting to because all the buttons are in different places than my former Canons. The one thing I really do NOT like about it is that the button on top for changing your ISO settings is nearly flush with the camera body itself, and you have to remove your eye from the camera and look at the top to make sure you are pushing the right button. I'm considering gluing a little bead to the button just so I can have the tactile sense and know that I am on the right button. This way, I can change the settings without taking my eye off my target.
Other than that, I really like it and am getting used to its abilities and quirks!

Don't glue a bead to it, Chuck! It won't stick well and you'll be left with super glue residue! Go to the hobby store and find some self-adhesive rubberized grippy stuff--you should be able to find various textures. Cut a small piece of that to fit on the button. As it wears off you can replace it and you don't have to deal with the mess of glue and beads breaking off and rolling all over the place!
