XTi / 30D trade?

Hey guys, I have really been wanting to move into the xxD series and want the 40D but have been thinking just to trade my XTi (like new) for a like new 30D so I can spend the other money on something else. But I am wondering, would anyone trade a 30D for a XTi strait?

I don't think so since there is about a $150 difference between their values. But I guess you never know.

I don't think anyone would go from a 30D to a Rebel series, but you never know...

Ohh alright I thought they were both going for about $400.. Haven't checked up on either as what people are selling both for Thanks guys!

If you can possibly afford it...

If you can possibly afford it; I would suggest keeping the Rebel and buying a 30D. Two cameras are a wonderful way to shoot because:

1. You can use two lenses which CAN give you top-notch IQ and fast autofocus while having an extremely wide focal range. You don't need to get a wide range zoom which usually is not super in the AF and IQ departments.

2. You do not need to change lenses in the field as often reducing the chance of damage to the equipment and dirt on the sensor.

3. FINALLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF ONE CAMERA GOES DOWN FOR SOME REASON, YOU STILL HAVE THE SECOND CAMERA WITH WHICH TO SHOOT! THIS SAVED ME DURING A TRIP TO ALASKA'S KENAI PENINSULA LAST YEAR. I FELL CLIMBING A SLIPPERY SLOPE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE TRIP AND BROKE MY 40D. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO SHOOT THE REST OF THAT VERY PHOTOGRNIC TRIP USING MY SECOND CAMERA, A 30d.

Who knows? Someone might have a backup 30D they would trade. Most likely you would have to come up with some cash. Try a posting on the WTB forum. That's how I got a deal on my 30D. But I sold my XT outright first.

I have been thinking about posting it up just for ****s/giggles and if someone bites, great! If not, no skin off my nose I have also been toying with the idea of just selling the XTi but that would be last resort!
