I was just wondering where do all the older models of digital
cameras go. With the rate of new models being introduced its obvious
that the old ones aren't all sold out. I've seen some on
refurbdepot.com and similar sites that are almost the same price they
were when new 2-3 years ago. Is it possible that the manufacturers
recall them and just trash them so they're off the market? Does Santa
deliver them to foreign countries? BTW Happy and Healthy New Year to
all you folks.

When you are old enough you can give them to your grandchildren.

I love how that site uses list prices, as it they matter.
Rebel XT, list price $1600, now $530, you save $1070!
Uh huh. Meanwhile, you can get them new for about $575.00.

I either keep them for more specialized uses or give them away
to family & friends. I,I'm not a grandfather so I can't pass them
down to my grad kids but I am an uncle & have nieces & nephews.

Many kids these days are quite fussy in what they want so not
all of my older digital camera's would be of interest. Most kids want
a pockets size digital camera with a large LCD which is why those that
don't meet their needs, are given to friends.

Many digital camera manufactures often offer refurbished
options to older cameras that may or may not be worth an out of
warrantee repair. Search this news group a few day back & you will
see such an offer was made to somebody with a Canon A95 for a
refurbished A610, which is what I would have chosen in that case.

Respectfully, DHB

I think he's talking about all the ones in the retail channels that don't get
sold before they're replaced by newer models...
