I would think something like the 5D could still be useful. My Olympus 4040, on the other handâ¦

At least lenses hold their value if you take care of them. I still use the first decent lenses that I bought with that 5D and see no need to upgrade them. I think my advice to anyone starting out in photography would be cheap camera, good lenses.

I usually sell them, and in fact am selling a Nikon D610 full frame DSLR on eBay right now.

 

If I don't do this, they usually collect dust.

 

Other great things to do with old cameras is modify them for infra-red, donate them to PhotoStart to help children learn about photography, or donate them to schools around your community. I've done all of that before as well except for modifying it for infra-red. Still need to do that at some point!!!
