What affects the value

Body tier & sensor

Full-frame pro bodies resell far above entry-level crop-sensor cameras. Name the exact model.

Shutter count

Shutter actuations are a camera's mileage — a low count is a strong selling point worth stating.

Lenses & kit

Sharp, sought-after lenses can be worth more than the body. Complete kits with a charger and batteries sell best.

Where people commonly sell DSLR Cameras
