Would you do this deal?

I don't know what your day rate is (which is what I would charge, so something around $2000, or more, for me) but that's the price point under discussion. Have you looked at the body? Is it in good condition cosmetically? Does it work properly? You can always take the body and either use it or resell it. Nothing says you have to change systems. You could always trade the body in at a camera store for other equipment, too.
All that said: get everything in writing, including commitments about the body in its current condtiion. I would write up a contract that specified my normal charges and deliverables, then add a clause about the swap as compensation, so that they know what value they are getting.
Yeah pretty much what he said. Carry a card, take a shot, and get a roundabout idea on the shutter count. You can shoot both systems with no problem, and remember that you can use your Nikon glass on the Canon body with an adapter. So as I see it, if this is legit, then it is a win.
