I was told one body only. I had a digi rebel and a 10D I would have gladly thrown in for additional discount.

I was just glad they were taking my smashed 30D.

would they do a broken 580EX (battery leak destroyed the circuit board) for a 580EXII?

$639.00 for a 50D Refurb regardless of the digital camera you trade in, and deliberately damaging a camera with significant used market resale value is pointless...if your camera could be otherwise sold in fully operating condition for even a measly $400, wrecking it and paying $629 is effectively paying $1049 for the transaction.

It's a great deal if you have a low value camera (not many of them, even a 30D is worth $400) and especially if you have a legitimately broken camera!

I'm looking to get my first DSLR and this seems like a good way to get a 50D for a great price. Just wondering, but do you have to be the original owner to do this program? I've heard many conflicting stories about this program so I wanted to make sure before I tried it. Does anyone happen to have a broken Digital Rebel or XT that they wanna part with for $50 or so?

Also does anyone know if the T1i is eligible for the trade in? I think I had heard that it was too new to be traded in.

The only way to be 100% sure is to call the number and ask, it's posted in the 2nd reply to this thread. The rep on the other end doesn't know you from me, so be straight forward when you ask the questions. You never know though, a CSR might be just behind you in line at the grocery store...

Tag - great info, thanks for posting

I traded in an old Rebel for 50D two days ago and I cannot wait to get it
I hate waiting, add to it I am selling my XSi to my co-worker and he holding me on it. I wish he just pay for it already....Waiting.....
