Canon XXDs comparison

I upgraded my D60 to a 50D for $75 (on CL) a couple of weeks ago.

Good catch. When I was looking for the best XXD I could get for under $100 on eBay a few weeks ago I found that a lot of XXDs were apparently used hard (wedding photographers?). When I looked for ones that looked "gently used", all the 50Ds that were acceptable to me were closer to $200. I only found two 40Ds that looked acceptable. The first one I attempted to buy had been sold before I finalized the sale. I got the 2nd one and it is fine.

XXDs from the 40D to the 70D have similar dynamic range.

Original chart. The 80D is an improvement but you don't find any 80Ds in the $100 range. The 20D and 30D (not shown on this chart) have noticeably worse dynamic range. 20Ds and 30Ds are often not much cheaper than 40Ds.

As of when I was researching on eBay in early November.
