How Much Is a Used DSLR Camera Worth?

DSLRs have softened as mirrorless took over, but quality Canon and Nikon bodies still sell steadily. Shutter count, sensor condition, and included lenses drive the price.

Typical used price range

$150 – $1,200

Entry-level crop-sensor bodies anchor the bottom; full-frame pro bodies and kits with good glass top the range. Lenses often hold value better than bodies.

What changes the price

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.
