WTB: Any Camera Body at or above 8 MP.

Hi there.

Regrettably, I damaged my old Canon Rebel XS body by attempting to clean its interior mirrors. (Horrible mistake, I know.) :rolleyes

However, my loss is potentially your gain.

I'm posting this thread because I now have a good reason to be interested in any cameras you guys might have laying around that don't get much use.

I would prefer to buy a Canon-branded body, as I have a few lenses that are already compatible with my XS. However, I will take offers on other brands if I feel the price is right. And yes, I strongly prefer a body with 8 or more megapixels. Anything smaller than that presents difficulties at larger print sizes. (At least for me.)

--Anyway, I thank you for your time. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Serious offers only.

    Try sending the camera in to Canon. They may be able to repair it or offer you a refurbished one at a discount.

    Indeed, that is an option.

    It will cost a little over $200 bucks to have them repair it. I'll be without a camera for quite some time if I go that route... (Roughly 2 weeks. More or less.)

    The other option is trading in my XS for a refurbished system. The best deal I can get out of Canon's Loyalty Program is a newly refurbished XSi body for 335. (The XS system must come with a kit lens through the program, making it only 20 dollars cheaper. So that's probably not the way to go. Might as well upgrade.)

    With all that being said, I made this post because I also wanted to explore the option of getting a used camera off a reputable site like this one. Just investigating every possibility here.

    :-)
