Where to Trade In Camera??

[e_lin]

I was wondering if there are any places to trade-in cameras in the

Dallas, Plano, Richardson area of Texas. I have a sony dsc-v1, but i

feel that the camera is a bit to small and lacks a good grip. Do you

think i can trade in my camera for a canon g5 or nikon 5400? I bought

my camera for the original retail price plus a sony-brand battery for

50 dollars and a memory stick. I also like how on other cameras you

can use compactflash. If trading is way too expensive, i don't think

i would do it though. its not that big a deal.

My first digital camera was a Fuji 1300 (1.3mgp) which came free with my son's computer. When I went to a better camera, I gave the Fuji to a friend's son (who's 7 years old)...a great way for him to get started.

 

I think low end digital cameras have very little trade or resale value. Why not give it to a friend, and just pay the full price for a new unit?

hey!!! the sony is a prosumer camera that i bought for 700 bucks at bestbuy. not something im going to give away!!!! o wel. i decided to keep it because the image quality on the v1 is the same as canon g5 except WITHOUT the purple fringing. so its actually better.

Except the grip is all wrong and you're unhappy with it?

 

Sell it. Try forums, classifieds, eBay etc. the DSC-V1 isn't a cheap throw away camera. If it's a good price, someone will snap it up.

 

The thing is to really try out the G5 or 5400 before buying, this time. I was going for the G5 myself, but the idea went out the window when they announced the 300D.
