How much is my EOS 50/50E body worth?

<p>Hi there,<br>

I have a manual EOS 50/50E is great condition. I bought is years back and now want to switch to a digital one. So my question is how much could I sell it for.<br>

I also have a manual for it, but it is in German.<br>

I look forward to any answers:)</p><div></div>

<p>You would not get a great deal. A quick check on eBay revealed completed listings from $40 to $130 for 50E camera kits (body + lenses). A body only went for $25. Maybe hang on to it? I've kept my EOS film bodies which I use for B&W, which I process myself.</p>

<p>Cheers, Bob</p>

<p>I read your title, my first thought was $25... I see Bob actually researched it...</p>

<p>The time to sell film equipment (unless it's rare vintage stuff), was like 7yrs ago... and even then... I would just keep it now.</p>

I tried to sell my old Élan on FM for $25 a couple years back and nobody was interested.

<p>I have contacted many people selling their Canon EOS (and Minolta AF) film equipments. The common practice is: you sell (or buy) the lenses, and the bodies are thrown in (we do this also at prestigious camera stores)</p>

<p>I bought a mint 50E 2 years ago on eBay for £20 GBP and they often sell for less than that. They are worth nothing and never will be. Sad, but true.</p>

<p>Jamie, you were ripped off.... Two years ago I bought one on eBay for £10.50 (around $16 on current exchange rates). It is so mint it looks like it came straight out of the box and was never used.</p>

<p>Give it to the Salvation Army or a Goodwill store for them to sell for $10.</p>

<p>I think you should keep it, buy some film, and go out and take some Spring shots. Even when you get a digital camera, it's still fun to shoot some film now and then, and your 50E is a very nice camera.</p>

<p>Took my Elan 2 to the thrift-shop a few years ago. The guy at the counter told me "that camera model was rejected by the computer Sir"</p>
