Yeah, I love it so much, I even had plans of taking a few photography classes this fall, but I'm still trying to get my head above water from when my husband and I were both un employed, plus I had car issues that my parents fronted me the money to fix it, and now I need to pay them back, so teh camera has to save my life,

$800 was actually a pretty good offer for you. I realize that you paid quite a bit more but that was over a year ago and the price has dropped a lot on it ever since the 50D came out.

For $800 I'd rather just keep it, that's more than 50% less. And actually I was just talking to the sales guy at best buy, and he still says the 40D is much better than the 50D, apparently they still have some work to do on it, it's louder and slower from what he said.

I think the lowest I could sell it for is $1000, otherwise I'll just keep it and come up with money some other way.

As far as lens specs, check out this site, it has a review on it.

Ummm, no, August 2008 was NOT over a year ago. It was actually only 8 1/2 months ago.

To the OP, if you can come up with the money some other way, I would do that, if I were you. If photogaphy is a big part of your life, and you really enjoy it, you will probably want another camera again one day (or wish you still had this one). You will have to get another one for alot more than what you will receive when selling this one, even at $1000.

Is there any way you can use the camera to make some extra money? Anyone in the neighborhood want pics of their kids, animals, etc? Father's day is coming up. Pics of kids are great gifts. You would still have time to take and process the pics. Plus, you are getting experience, and some money too. You can also offer to take pics for people of items they want to sell, maybe on craigslist. Lots of people don't have a good camera, believe it or not. Or, maybe if someone wants pics of valuables taken, for insurance purposes, you can take them (don't forget to take pics of the serial numbers too) and put them all on a cd or two for somone. None of this will make lots of money, but maybe it will jumpstart some ideas. And, some money is better than none. Just some thoughts...

I understand whee you are coming from. We bought a Canon Rebel Xsi back the end of summer last year, less than a year ago. My husband really, really enjoys it and uses it alot. We have bought extra stuff for it; lenses, filters, a nice bag, sd cards, etc. I would have a hard time selling IT for $1000 and it isn't as nice as the one you have.

Just my opinion. Good luck, whatever you decide to do!

Less than a year old. Good deal, considering all the extras, including the warranty. If I had the money, I'd be on it like a duck on a Junebug!

But I like the idea of making money by using it! Portraits of pets, real estate pics, show pics, advertising pics......
 
If I were you and had this situation I would go offer to take pictures for either the places listed or others and make the money that way. I would not sell my camera. You are just loosing way too much money and it isn't worth it.
I am a horse trader too but that is a huge loss and I would not insult you like that.
Go to the Realtor's, hospitals, news papers, colleges and ask if you can do photographs for a fee..even to the city or where ever..
Good luck...
