Default 30D prices

I have founf a 30D in fantastic condition and I dont really have a handle on what they are worth around the traps these days. Anyone have any first hand experience on this in the last few months?

Personally I wouldnt get a 30D, as the 40D is miles ahead, and you can get that one pretty cheaply too.

But for the 30D Body, your looking at around $550-700 depending on the shutter count I reckon.

I wouldn't say *miles* ahead - apart from Live view, 10MP v 8MP and a few other minor changes there isn't much difference.

I would say about $500-700 depending on condition and once again shutter count

Yup about $600 and if it is in fantastic condition you'll be very happy.

Noise wise at higher ISOs it is far better

I looked into them recently and found, in general, they were holding their value "quite well."
