Used Sony cameras and photography gear typically sell for $30 to $1,036 (about £22 to £770) depending on the camera and its condition. Camera equipment sells to people who know precisely what they want, which makes the specification the listing. The mount, the format and the shutter count matter more than the brand name, and glass in good condition holds value far better than bodies do.

Mounts, formats and compatibility on Sony cameras and photography gear
Sony puts both cropped and full-frame sensors behind the same mirrorless mount, so every lens physically fits every body while only some cover the larger sensor. It also inherited an older reflex mount from its acquisition of Minolta, which needs an adapter.
- Mirrorless bodies form the bulk of listings, weighed on sensor generation and autofocus rather than on the megapixel count
- Lenses divide into full-frame and crop-only designs on the same mount, which is the distinction every buyer is checking first
What to check before you buy
State whether a lens covers full frame or only the cropped sensor. Both mount without complaint, and a crop-only lens on a full-frame body silently reduces the resolution to the smaller area, which buyers discover afterwards rather than in the listing.
For the checks that apply to any used cameras and photography gear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used cameras and photography gear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $533 Sony camera, a marketplace charging 20% takes $107, one charging 13.6% takes $72 and one charging 10% takes $53. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $533.
Listing your Sony cameras and photography gear
- Include sample images taken with the equipment. It is the most persuasive thing you can add and almost nobody does it
- Sell bodies and lenses separately unless the kit is genuinely matched. Glass holds its value and bodies depreciate, so bundling them usually costs you

Questions
Will any lens on this mount fit any body?
Physically yes, which is both the strength and the trap of the system. Coverage is what differs: a lens designed for the cropped sensor will not fill a full-frame one. Name the designation printed on the barrel rather than describing the lens by focal length alone.
