Re: Who's still using Rebel T1i or older bodies?

I always brought my cameras "to last" and kept them as many as possible for being the sentimental person I am ! I am fortunate there is a great camera repair place near home ... they clean and repair both film cameras and digital SLRs. About digital Canons vs old school film ... it's a different world ... 40 years ago the Canon A-1 was on the market for about 7-8 years and still in camera store stock for about 3 more til it sold out.  Todays digital SLRs are like cell phones ... they get replaced about every 2-3 years but it doesn't make the older model less usable. I like the new stuff (the Canon 80d) but the "old" stuff is still just as good. Like the saying goes "it works for me". Unless one is a professional photog of which I am not.
