I buy quite a lot using loyalty program and they never ask me to send the old gear for at least last 7-8 years. My last purchase using loyalty was last November. Gave them 40D SN.
Same here. I wasn't asked to send in my 1ds ii; they just acknowledge it's beyond its repairable life and recorded the serial number (this was for 20% a new r6 ii a month or so ago)

Those looking for an excellent walk around and travel lens, the budget priced 55-250mm STM lens for APS-C cameras is outstanding and a must have. The STM is silent and very fast to focus. I upgraded last year from the older, non STM lens and it's worth it, especially at this refurb price. Macro shots are clean and sharp too.

Are any of these good starter hobby kits? I used to shoot Rebel SLRs in high school when mirrorless was just becoming a thing but I haven't kept up and I'm open to a $300-500 impulse purchase for a bit of nature photography.

It pretty easy to look up old, broken cameras and lenses on auction sites and use those serial numbers for a loyalty program purchase

I actually just used this to replace my old T3i. If you buy a new camera they will give you a 20% discount. If you buy refurbished they will give you 10%. Just an FYI.
Do they just give you a online code?

For $300, is the EOS R100 worth it?
It depends on your needs.
For photographing family and landscapes, it's terrific. It has a built-in flash. For sporting events or low lighting without flash, it's not great.
It does have autofocus with eye detection, making it excellent for photographing people, especially if they're sitting still. For $300 with the 18-45mm lens, it's great. It's also great as a camera for learning, before you dive into a more expensive camera.

Thanks. Was hoping it be a code so I could use PP plus stack it with other stuff.

Thanks. I'd say my needs are to get a camera to start learning photography, to use something for sporting events/concerts, travel with, and get integrated into a Mirrorless system.

I wish the R10 or R50 were discounted more, but $300 is too good to pass up for a tight budget.

It's a great start.
For sports, the autofocus and frame rate are pretty slow compared to a lot of other cameras, but you won't find anything better at $300. You'll probably want the low cost 55-250mm [canon.com] for sports. A 50mm is way too short for just about any sports.

I'm a very serious photographer and I think the best thing is to use this a lot and learn its limits, so if you decide to spend over $1,000, you'll know what you want, instead of listening to other people telling you what's right for them.

The other thing is that people get so caught up in the latest technology that they don't understand that an entry-level camera like this has over four decades of cutting-edge, high-end professional features built in.

Thanks! I'm trying to avoid the hype of trying to get the most in a camera and overspending on a basic tool to learn.

It's so easy to get caught in a price ladder because so many people would've loved to get all that tech in an affordable model over those course of the last few decades you mentioned.

I'm really tempted by a lot of these cameras, but have some questions.

I bought a used Rebel T5 about five years ago. I've really enjoyed my entry into the DLSR world and found that I'm actually pretty good at it, even if I'm not as professional as others – and certainly don't use the tools like Lightroom, etc to further edit my pictures.

Because I'm still just a beginner, I want to stay under $1,000 and preferably under $500

I'm in the EF universe and have a few EF lenses, so I'm somewhat reluctant to get anything with an RF mount.

Before the end of the year, I plan to move to the Portuguese island of Madeira – the Hawaii of Europe. The scenery there is incredible and I might start doing more travel vlog-type content. I already have a GoPro11, a DJ Mini Drone and my iPhone 13, I have never used the T5 to generate video, but i'm open to the possibility.

The T7 looks like it's barely a step up from the T5. Would an EOS RP Body (or similar) make more sense given my need to improve my shooting game and possibly start generating video? Or is the T7, the best bargain on the site now, absolutely fine for my needs?

If you want to do video, try to move to a body with ibis

I had the same question. When I click on the link and get to the page for the R100 and its kit lens, there is also a link to the Refurbished RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM lens for just $200 more. For $500 total (body and two lenses, that seems like a pretty good start into this type of camera? Any feedback?
