Thanks, been wanting an XT for a while. Traded in my old SD110 for around $304 and change.

Anyone try to trade in a A80? Mines broken and it's been sitting here on my desk, I'll give them a call tomorrow!

I think I win the award for oldest camera traded-in, the S100 (from 12 years ago). I called in on Tuesday, got the Rebel Xt on Thursday (2nd day Fedex). Super fast shipping! Happy to report that the camera arrived looking brand new. They include all the original accessories and they are new as well (charger, manuals, usb cables, new battery, 32mb memory card, camera strap). It doesn't come in it's original retail box but a white box that says "Canon Refurbished". Very happy with the deal offered. Been taking pics with it to test things out performance-wise and I can see no difference between the refurb and a brand new camera.

Over at the original thread on Sd, others receiving their refurbs are also reporting that theirs are arriving "brand new" looking. One guy had a G9 that had some scratches and he called Canon back and they sent him another in better condition to replace it. Great customer service I say!

Oh, also wanted to point out that Canon offers this same kind of loyalty program for their camcorders and printers.

why? so you can fiddle with raw? C'mon, are you gonna do that? I've used CHDK two times, fiddled with RAW a little bit, and realized I couldn't beat DIGIC III !

Red from me, OP.

You stole this from SD, where the actual trade-up thread started in March 2006, and folks there started posting in the thread on 7/25 that they were getting the refurbed Rebel offer.

At least give credit where credit is due.

Decisions decisions....

I have an old SD400 that is on its last legs, but I was planning on upgrading to a Nikon D60 (~$650). I'm not sure if the Nikon is going to be worth $350 extra on the price of a refurbished XT from the loyalty program.

Any suggestions?

Is the serial number somewhere on the camera? I don't see it, so if I can't find my box, am I pretty much screwed?

if you decide to test out the Canon XT, I'd love to buy the A100 off you..

washin said:Called in to check what they would offer for my broken SD1000 ( famous lens error ), they offered the same deal.

My questions is $275+ tax + $10 (shipping) good for a refurb XT with 6 months warranty??

I already own a Sony A100 DSLR, trying to justify if the canon XT offer is good for me to buy

Um, dude, you're full of it.

Canon says so here.

I just called, and they informed me that the camera must be defective in some way. How can I make my old S100 defective enough to qualify? any suggestions?

Did you ship just the camera itself or everything that came with it when new? Thanks

Tell them that the camera is not focusing well and the images are blurry despite all the settings you have tried.
