Thanks, for the info. Prices on the XTI will come down after the XSI is released on the 27th, and I will likely get a XTI as my replacement, unless you want to pitch in. The XSI has some cool features, but the xti will suit my needs just fine.

Okay, back to the smashing suggestions....

Maybe you should try a Nikon this time. That way I can have your lenses. :roll:

SJ, right up my ally. If you want elaborate; Find your self a couple Marines spec. and BLOW IT UP! or; if you need the internals afterwords, why not wrap it in a potato bag and sling shot it into a concrete wall......

Or, better yet, build a potato launcher (higher circumference ) and launch that baby in the air 50 or 60 feet!!

Lastly, the reverse gravity theory with assistance is always a hit....

If you need any acting/personality presence, I will volunteer my services pro bono ;~)

Drag it behind your car on a rope, and instead of a "Just Married" sign, have a sign saying "Effed by Canon" or something similar.

Or, hang it from one of the Big Blue Signs- and add your own sign- "Examples of Bad Public Relations."

this is a funny thread!!!:lol: You could just send this thread to Canon or their competitors. Nikon could run an ad on what you want to do when you buy a canon!!!:wave:

Now, I'm reading some good stuff!!! Thanks. Love the sling shot into a wall idea. Maybe one of the three person water balloon sling shots? Exploding the camera sounds good, but I don't want anyone to get injured in the process. A fairly quick method will probably be best, because I want people to watch the video, and we all have very short attention spans and don't watch long videos, unless the entire video is filled excitement. Anyone else want to donate their cameras?

love the concrete block dropping idea, but don't know that I could really capture it well on video. The idea of filling it with fish guts is awesome. If we could get a shark or a 400# gag grouper to eat it on video, even better. Or maybe put it in the middle of the road filled with animal guts and let the Turkey Vultures have their way, picking out all of the stuff from the hard to get places. I do have access to a time lapse camera, so keep the ideas coming.

Joe; If you have access to a 3 Chip digital camera; there are some GRAYTE things that you can do with motion!!!!!!

IE: take the camera w/you for a day; as your date; horse back riding; go cart riding; para sail; flying or even jumping out (of the plane) with a rig and taking your "camera date" introducing him/her (the camera) to an illustrious group of folk; band members bikini teams; political figures etc....

Climax the video, then POOF; BLAST it to smithereens!!!!!! :D

Build up with interesting real time videography then let the games begin!!!! You might even want to take your camera date to a day at the spa before annihilating it:rotfl:

I want something that involves melting.

Or can you make a sculpture out of its parts so that it is reincarnated into a thing of beauty? (Or at least interesting and useful, like a paperweight or doorstop.)
