Last year for christmas I received a Canon 550D/T2i. Unfortunately, in June it randomly stopped working and the repair costs were estimated around 220-250, near the price I payed for the camera (359), Canon claimed the camera was no longer under warranty due to purchasing refurbed. So I was SOL as far as the repair. For a second attempt in the digital SLR arena I thought about purchasing a Canon 60D, full retail with warranty (I was just going to use my 18-55mm that came with my T2i, for now). The retail price is $719.99 with a loyalty discount (trade in the T2i) it brings the grand total to $579.99. Normally, I would look to purchase used, bur I'm a little apprehensive with my past luck. So I guess my question is whether it is worth trading in my T2i for the 20% discount or another option? I was thinking of possibly purchasing a 5D (MK1) for around the same price used, if somehow I could find a way to get a warranty eg. Squaretrade?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
