Donation just went thru to Assisi home & hospice and cam is off to get IR conversion.

SOLD or rather $120 donated to assisi home & hospice.

Waiting for someone who is supposed to come by tonight to view the camera...

Update for kaylan -- both EOS 3 and D30, which have been sleeping the dry cabinet for quite a while, both started up and fired off shots fine last night. But of course, can only confirm the shots on the D30, not the film SLR... Anyway the whole point of clearing up some space is "itchy...

OK fingers crossed that the person I'm meeting tomorrow will want the camera after viewing and donate generously! @ kaylan: the cameras left in dry cabinets should be fine -- mine have been dormant for years already!

LENS SOLD

"for sale" ad posted -- dunno if anyone will really bite and donate $$ for the D30.

Will put up the D30 body + grip + batts for sale to see how that goes... an DSLR body doesn't make much sense for a charity donation thing...

Nieces and nephew too young, cousins old enough to afford their own or would sniff at such a DSLR relic!! Anyway got someone who's interested in buying it -- see how lor.

I have two old SLRs -- a EOS 100 and a EOS D30 -- dunno what to do with them. Both are working but the 100 isn't in good condition - the grip area has become sticky/peeling, so most likely I will keep that to trade-in for a 600D under Canon's PPP. Anyone has any idea what's the D30 is worth...

Hmm -- I wonder if the tsunami/quake will affect Canon's next DSLR announcement due in Aug/Sept? Since I waited so long, I'll just hold on for a couple more weeks to find out what's next. 5D replacement or 7D Mk2??

Early buyer/adopter so paid a hefty hefty price and in the end, didn't shoot that much... in a nutshell, that's a possible argument AGAINST the 7D -- but since the premium is now much much less, so the opp cost isn't as bad as 10 years ago.

Heart says 7D, head or rather wallet says 600D...:dunno: but realistically it should be back to 60D vs 7D because the 600 is just too small to be comfortable in hand. Honestly I have been waiting a long time to upgrade from the D30 and I don't want to make the same mistake of spending too...
