Рет қаралды 6,272

Join me to see if I can hit my target of $400 in estimated value on this group of film and digital SLR cameras!
This video covers the below working SLR and DSLR Cameras:

Pro-tip to remove the tackiness from grips and other degraded rubber/plastic; use an old toothbrush and hand sanitiser. Most of us have these laying around. Scrub the hand sanitiser onto the grip with the toothbrush, wipe it away with a microfibre cloth or old rag. And repeat that a few times. Eventually it'll be like-new again.

High concentration rubbing alcohol works in 90% cases for me but I would definitely try this plastic restorer. Tooth brush is 100% a must.

I have been a little mixed on shooting with cameras. First I shot with Nikon (a crappy L120) then a Sony DSC-H20, then to a Canon PowerShot SD550, then to a Sony NEX-5N, then to a Olympus C-60Z, and now a Nikon D100 and Canon PowerShot SD10. I use the D100 with an 18-55mm F3.5-F5.6 ED SWM GII and a 70-210mm F4-F5.6 AF Nikkor (non-D). Both lenses are very sharp but the 70-210mm produces colors that seem to really pop. It's a very good lens. I also have an early AF Nikkor 50mm F1.8 on the way, also a non-D or G version.

Yes, many film cameras have different bahavior with or without film. Although film testing is too expensive for shutter speed check, it's at least worthy to verify intended behavior for film advance and camera operation.

Another mixed bag, very nice. Had my share of film camera's but am now firmly stuck in the digital age. I personally took a gamble in the thrift store (same one as the TZ70) and scored an excellent condition Canon SX720HS in RED this time (€9,50 not tested no waranty). Fully working, not a scratch! Had to revive the battery because it played dead: the circuit in the battery will stop taking a charge when the cell is below a certain value. With some playing around with Li-ion charges it jumped back to life and the battery seems to work perfectly now

Pentax, but open to suggestion. When shooting film, I often carried a Kiev 4 (Contax II copy), because it was lighter than my KX/Chinon CE-4s system. The, "Sony A-mount," was introduced on the Minolta 7000, the world's first working AF SLR - Sony later swallowed Minolta whole.

The US Market for used cameras seems to be very different than it is here in Austria and the EU. I am not a retailer or so but i have a pretty big camera and lens collection and so iam often buying cams and also selling stuff i dont want anymore or just bought in a lot because of something i wanted to have. The digicam hype is not real over here at least on the local market places (maybe on ebay). Entrylevel DSLR dont sell, Bridge Cams dont sell, Nice Vintage SLRS do not sell very well eighter, vintage lenses sell pretty well as people like to adapt them to mirrorless, but the type of camera that sells by far the best here are analog point and shoot cameras. If i selll a nice SLR + a lens for around 50€ it probaly take 2 month till it sells but i can easily sell 4 analog point and shoots for 40€ each with in a week.
@pricklypearcamera 3 ай бұрын
Very interesting indeed! We definitely saw the hyped digicams here, with model specific interest leading to prices going to astronomical values (like the Nikon S6900). I used to sell that for $100 5 years ago and now it sells for $300-400+. The budget DSLR market here in the US I would say gets smaller and smaller every year with prices reducing as a result.

I might sell one a month. On the other side I've selling digital point and shoots like they are going out of fashion.
