What DSLR cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- Original battery, charger and body cap
- Any lens included, often the more valuable half of the sale
What pulls it down
- Fungus or haze inside any included lens
- Entry-level crop bodies, which have fallen hardest
Working out what yours is worth
- Find the shutter count — most bodies report it in menus or via free software
- Take a test shot of a plain white wall at a narrow aperture to reveal sensor dust
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.
