It is a Nikon. Next week I pick up my new D300. I went to sell my old Nikon and all I was offered was a measly 400 dollars. What!! How can that be? It's only 3 years old.

And that's with a 50MM lens. (Note: I never have used the lens)

Sucks don't it.... cameras are a lot like cars... they depreciate in value by 50% the second you drive them off the lot... well digital at least. Film bodies hold their value pretty well.
Like Fhotoace, I bought two Nikon D2Hs's for $3500 each, sold one for a very small fraction of what I paid and kept the other. But the money I'd made with each more than paid for themselves and paid for my D200's. Wish I could be saying I'll be getting a D3 soon... not likely. :)
I would hang on to the spare body unless you wanted to sell and put that money towards a new lens. I guess it would be too late to recommend saving the extra money and getting a D200. Personally, although I'm sure the D300 is going to be an amazing piece of equipment, I don't see the benefit of it over the D200... 2 more megapixels, live preview...

Canon EOS Rebel T3 is a GREAT camera for someone like me, who is just moving into digital SLR photography. It has all the bare essentials, and nothing overly complex. At $599 for the lens kit, it's hard to beat that price for all the features Canon gives you. If money is your main concern, you will not be disappointed with this camera. Although I would've liked to see an external mic input and a nicer grip, I'm very happy with my purchase and can't complain much. I'm sure as my photography grows (as well as my budget...), I will certainly upgrade and use this camera as a back up. But for now, well done Canon on the EOS Rebel T3 =)This camera allows you to use live screen shooting which so many people like these days and it takes HD video

I had the same experience when I wanted to trade in my Bronica SQ-A & SQ-Ai w/4 lens and 6 film backs. So I sold my stuff on eBay and got $1500 and that was a give away price but it was more then $1000 what the camera store offered for (9.5 rated) my gear.
They'll give you $400, ask $800 and sell it for $700.

No one wants anything that is aged. even if it is good quality. When i got my new windows vista computer i went to sell my old XP. No one bought it becaus eit was a year old and they could get stuff better for the same price. I would say that the people you are selling to could get a better camera for the same price and its brand new.

None of the electronic items have a second hand value.. Even if it is a new one.. My friend got a 17" monitor that is just 6 months old for $12.5. Its actual MRP was $125...

Keep the older body as a back-up. You can also mount an ultra-wide short zoom on one body and a longer focal length zoom on the other.

Welcome to the Digital Age.
Just to rub things in, my $50 Nikon EM will blow the D300's doors off.

What camera you got? did you sell to ebay? you probably has a film which many don't wanted.
