I've often said that I don't understand the way big business operates and here's another example of why.

Canon has an unusual trade in program that allows owners of older canon digital cameras to upgrade to a few of their more upscale, out of production, digital cameras.

What's unusual to me is that the program is not being advertised and your trade in does not have to be in working condition.

They will even accept a Canon S10 and $275.00 towards a refurbished Rebel XT and lens kit.

I saw a Canon s10 on eBay going for 2 bucks just now. It might be worth buying a similar camera just to qualify for the program because you're not going to find a digital Rebel, used, much less refurbished to new, for $275.00.

The article I saw said you had to provide the serial number so I don't know if the trade in had to be previously registered by the person who wants to trade in.

A call to Canon can get an answer to that question.

Here's the link to the Canon digital camera trade in offer.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.
