I've overheard Canon quote some trade up prices to some others while I waited at the Irvine service center. The trade up prices were always higher than what someone could buy the body for here used. And that's without factoring the value of the traded body.

From my direct conversation with the Canon Rep, I was given the numbers:

$639.00 for a 50D Refurb regardless of the digital camera you trade in. There is not a higher allowance for newer models or makes.

$349.00 for a Canon Rebel XS when trading in a Canon film camera, regardless of the body you trade.

So when I look at these numbers, and try to buy a 50D used, I think used price is right at $900 to $1000. And, the Rebel XS is right at $500 to $550. So if you're trading up an older camera that truly needs servicing, I'd understandably weigh the cost of the repair, in terms of worth. If' it's just a cleaning for a 30D, and they offer me the 50D trade-up, I'd politely tell than No Thanks...

But if it was a main board replacement, shutter replacement, or something more substantial, and the trade-up made more sense, by all means get the 50D. If you're just trying to weasel your way into a 50D, then you're skirting what is made to be a very beneficial program.

YMMV...

Can you send in multiple cameras on one trade-in deal? We've got old SLR's - AE-1, T-50 and a T-90. Guess I should call and see what they'll do for us!

I "traded" in two XTi's for 2 50D's. They set them up as separate orders but I did it all on one phone call.

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.

$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...
