Used DSLR cameras in Montreal typically sell for C$170 to C$850 (about $120 to $605). DSLR bodies have fallen a long way as mirrorless took over, which is exactly why the lenses attached to them are often worth more than the camera.
Selling a DSLR camera in Montreal
The July moving week produces a concentration of second-hand furniture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Canada. Prices in the days either side of it are the lowest of the year, and the choice is at its widest.
The outdoor staircases that front so many buildings here are narrow, steep and often spiral, and they defeat more furniture than anything else. Establish the stairs before the price, and remember that winter makes all of it considerably harder.
Measure the outdoor staircase, not just the doorway. The spiral and half-turn stairs on many buildings here defeat sofas and mattresses that would fit anywhere else, and the seller may never have taken it out that way.
Montreal, in Quebec, has around 1.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Montreal
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What DSLR cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- Low shutter count, which is the closest thing cameras have to mileage
- A full-frame sensor, which holds value far better than crop bodies
What pulls it down
- High shutter counts approaching the rated life of the mechanism
- Entry-level crop bodies, which have fallen hardest
Working out what yours is worth
- Take a test shot of a plain white wall at a narrow aperture to reveal sensor dust
- Price the body and any lens separately before deciding how to sell them
Getting it ready
- Find the shutter actuation count. Free tools read it from a recent JPEG’s metadata, and it is the number every serious buyer wants.
- Test every function: autofocus, all shooting modes, the flash, the screen and both card slots if it has them.
Photograph
- The body with the lens mounted, three-quarter view
- Everything included: batteries, charger, strap, caps, cards and box
Put in the description
- Exact body model and shutter actuation count
- Sensor condition, and any marks on the screen or body
Steady, with DSLRs now sitting below mirrorless in demand. Bodies with low shutter counts and complete kits sell within a couple of weeks; tired bodies with no accessories sit much longer.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
