Upgraded to the new Canon Rebel XSi, Old Canon Rebel up for Sale!

Posted by Kyle Heon Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:44:00 GMT

Since Canon announced the new Rebel XSi I have been seriously considering the upgrade from my now 2-3 year old Rebel XT. The XT has served me quite well and is still an awesome camera, for the price (especially now, as it’s being phased out, you can get it for pretty cheap).

The XSi offered numerous upgrades over the XT and with a recent bonus check from my employer, I felt it was not only in the cards, but worth it.

Earlier this week B&H notified me that they had stock in the new Canon model and so I started watching the local Best Buy. Friday, after work I stopped back in and patiently waited for a sales associate to free up to ask when they would be getting some. He looked it up in his computer and low and behold, they had stock. He was able to track down one—the kit, which is what I wanted (for the upgraded 18-55mm IS lens).

I sadly have not been able to really play around with it but I can say that it is a pretty cool camera and I suspect I’ll be learning all the new features it offers in the coming months. With spring/summer right around the corner, I’m hoping to get some good photos, so watch this space and my flickr space.

So, as the title suggests, my old Rebel XT is up for sale. I haven’t listed it on eBay or anything like that yet, just spreading the word quietly for right now. If you are interested, contact me using the link in the footer. Use a subject line similar to “Interested in your Rebel XT”.

I’m asking $350 for the kit, plus a few other goodies:

I also have an older 28-80mm lens that works perfectly with the Rebel XT which I acquired during my film SLR days. If you are interested in this, let me know as I’m willing to add it to the mix for a small additional amount.

I expect that shipping this bundle will probably run about $15 via UPS Ground, but we can certainly discuss total cost via email if necessary.
