To be fair the 30D is prosumer grade camera, slighty better than the 20D. I just gave my old 20D to a young man, whose older sister is a very decent photographer. When I discussed settings, crop factor, FOV, and other basic considerations, I was impressed with his comprehension, for someone without a DSLR of his own. He has a new dog, has become a traveling musician, and I dare say will have the opportunity to see and photograph things that I never will! I even threw in three lenses, including an extra 50mm/1.8 mark ii, the Plastic Fantastic! I told him you can profession results with that lens, and I believe it's true. I warned him don't be fooled by its Cracker Jacks toy prize appearance. In return I got a big drum, the type that are very popular with the young crowd. Sort of goblet shaped and very nice looking. I gave him a 28mm/2.8 manual focus prime and an old telephoto zoom.
I felt good about the deal. This guy has the brains and personality to get some very good photos. And I got a cool looking drum.
It's lenses that are hardest for me to part with, but I felt better presenting a complete kit, and less need to hold on to redundant lenses.
