The SX100 is a great camera, has IS, 10X zoom, and a nice lens.

Thanks OP. For my daughter's busted SD800-IS I was offered a refurb G9 for $250. Other things they offered was SD850 IS $150 and the XT for $275. No interest in the latter, I am still thinking about the former. I asked if there is an expiration date on the offer and was told that there is not

CZConsidering the only decent deals so far are for fairly decent cameras, and even then aren't massive, probably just not worth it. I am half way tempted to scam a serial number and see what offering a digital rebel would get though.

Though actually a known problem with some of the canon digital cameras http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&keycode=2112&fcategoryid=226&modelid=11154 is that the serial number wears off, so you could see what you could get without having the camera yet, but I am just too lazy.

Ed: actually since the info is in the exif you can go to flickr search by camera select a camera of the sort you were thinking, and click more properties on one of the images (may take a few tries find one that displays exif). Then you would at leaat know if it was worth it... but far far too much work for little old me

nopes..No SLRs.. Only digital .. I just called them

those who want to trade in old film cameras, please let me know. although canon does not want them. i may be able to offer to buy from you for the trade in price. you know what a good guy i am, always willing to help anyone in need.

I cant believe i just paid 30 dollars for a broke camera on eBay, i called canon first.

Makes me wonder what mine are worth. I have 2 A-1s, a Canon 50mm F1.4 lens, a Canon 28mm F2.8 lens along with an aftermarket 200mm zoom lens.

Can't you use those lenses on the DSLRs? (i.e. Rebel XT)

You can use them with an adapter but an F1.4 would effectively be F2.8, etc.

Are all the models that they offer refurbs? I have a A80 in good condition. Wondering whether it will be worth doing the trade.

I called in and they are offering same deal as OP ('saferisk'). I am getting "Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR" for my "Canon PowerShot SD110 3MP Digital Elph with 2x Optical Zoom" 4 year old camera. Thanks 'saferisk'.
