JB are knocking off $100 from Canon DSLR cameras if you hand in your crappy old camera. I just bought a lovely 600D with 18-55mm lens kit for $546. All I did was take in a rubbish 10 year old 5MP camera that I had in a shoe box of string and paper clips. I almost felt embarrassed handing it over to the sales assistant. However, the promotion says, "any camera working or not."

Since you have to take your old camera in, it is obviously STORE PICKUP ONLY.

Hahahaha, I'm so pleased with myself right now. I'm taking the rest of the day off to play with my new camera and run around the neighbourhood.

And to the naysayers and killjoys, this is Aussie stock with an Aussie warranty. Not grey import cameras.

God Bless.

    Are JB prices any good after the $100 off?

      Don't know about the other Canon cameras but the Body Only for $396 is a total bargain. The single lens kit that I bought today also seems to be the cheapest I could find at the moment (for Aussie stock) once you take off the $100.

      • dy4me on 18/10/2012 - 11:45

        Damn it, why did I have to have a 550D already? Why? why?

        • nothommus on 18/10/2012 - 11:53
          +1

          Same reason i do. Got it before they even released the 600D?
          Besides, they are essentially the same cameras.. do you really want a flip out screen? Unless your doing video work i guess.

        • A Banana4scale on 18/10/2012 - 12:03

          yeah no point getting the 600D if you don't need a flipout screen. 650D has other features which stand out but is a lot more expensive

        • dy4me on 18/10/2012 - 12:06

          No Cheese i dont care for the damn flip out screen. i dont care about anything. But the deal. I have to have it. Its a deal. A good one. my ozbargainitis rash is back. :p

        • el_cheapo on 18/10/2012 - 12:10
          +2

          I find the flip out screen to be very handy for macro shots (as well as other awkward shots). Not worth upgrading from a 550D for, but it does have uses other than video.

        • epicaricacy on 18/10/2012 - 13:56
          +1

          Better feature is the remote flash controller. And flip out screen is a real bonus actually. Not that I have one? ( spoilt myself with the 5dmkiii)

        • Cheeper on 18/10/2012 - 22:49

      • macrocephalic on 18/10/2012 - 12:14

        Yeah, it's not cheap once you get up to the 60D, but it's cheap for a 600D.

      • jasonlah on 18/10/2012 - 12:15

        wireless trigger flash on the 600d is also one advantage over the 550d

  • maogua on 18/10/2012 - 11:26

    Do they offer the same for Nikon, Olympus and Fujifilm?

    • kazines on 18/10/2012 - 11:29

      offer is for Canon only

  • kazines on 18/10/2012 - 11:28

    This is a very good price for 600D 18-55mm kit… grey import is going around 500 + shipping

    • [Deactivated] on 18/10/2012 - 11:31

      Agreed. Can't get through the manual quick enough. Never owned a super awesome camera before.

        That's what I thought.. It's been a year since I bought one and I'm already looking forward to the day that I can afford the 7D

  • chillipaste on 18/10/2012 - 11:29

    what do they do with these traded in cameras anyway?

    • surm on 18/10/2012 - 11:35
      +3

      My guess is that they dispose the traded in cameras. If they (JB/Canon) merely discount the price, that price gets established as the "the price" and buyers become reluctant to pay the normal price after that.

      • macrocephalic on 18/10/2012 - 12:16

        They would just send them to be recycled. They would get a small amount of green credits, but not much. Basically the same thing that happens to most corporate computers once they're end of life.

    • IamEzza on 18/10/2012 - 16:09

          You could buy a camera from them for less than $79, then trade that in (if you couldn't find anything else).

        • Cheeper on 18/10/2012 - 22:53

          It's "any" camera, working or not, old as the hills or one you just got from go-lo. I bet even an old webcam would qualify.

          Just purchased a 600D today - I tried to trade in my old Nokia N95 as I didn't have an old digital camera lying around but they guy said no. I jokingly asked if I could trade in a disposable camera and he said that they didn't have any rules against that and it should be okay.

          Headed over to K-Mart and picked up a disposable for $8, went back to JB's and traded it in with no difficulties :)

      Interesting question. Their site does say, "Bring in ANY camera, working or not."

      • Cheeper on 18/10/2012 - 22:55

        Any camera, even an old webcam or disposable camera would qualify.

    • tasty-falafel on 20/10/2012 - 18:07

      I can confirm they will accept a disposable camera. Traded in an $8 one today for $100 off a 600D.

    • kazines on 18/10/2012 - 12:39

      I can make a good recommendation on a DSLR depending on your need
      but compact cameras… they're pretty much the same thing

      just go for the right price with the right functions for you

      • Nuggets on 18/10/2012 - 18:09

        And the names. The names… How are we supposed to tell the difference between the things?
        "What do you think of the 500CSX45?"
        "The what?!"

    • doze on 19/10/2012 - 21:45

      Pretty much use the same sensor, or same sensor size. You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference as far as IQ is concerned.

      If I was buying a compact, I would buy the Canon S100 from Kogan (which I did recently - to supplement my Micro 4/3). The S100 has a bigger sensor, fast lens and is great bang for buck. The price has fallen because the S110 has been released. The S110 only brings Wifi and touch screen - same sensor, same lens and more expensive.

      And if you are feeling rich I would look at the Sony RX100.

      • bbyboy on 20/10/2012 - 00:11

        i bought the s100 from kogan too. its a great camera, but even with all the manual settings it wont take good depth of field shots cos of its small sensor in comparison to dslrs

    • m2000 on 18/10/2012 - 12:32

      It may be different, double check with the vendor/JB?
      1100D may get the cheaper lens Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens
      while the 550D get the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens
