Any thoughts on where to sell a camera?

[WTFH]

So, my beloved 5DII has to be sold, based on comments such as "why do you need 3 bodies?", also it hasn't be used in almost a year.
eBay: too much faff.
LCE: never give you a good price
MPB: my usual one
SO Cameras: waiting to hear back from them, also they have a lens I might buy


Any other thoughts on a good second hand dealer?

[missinggreenfields]

What's it worth? What's the condition? How many photos has the sensor taken?

I was vaguely thinking of getting a "new" camera as I was drifting off to sleep last night.

Has it got pics of the Mrs on it?

Sold prices on eBay are £700-800, trade in is sub £600
9736 shutter count, clean body apart from a bit of paint wear near the on/off switch.
I've got the strap, box, cables, charger, Canon battery (might throw in a spare 3rd party one)


Sample images can be provided (not of The Wife (tm) )

Sounds like the same sort of wear FLC has on his sex aids

Next time get a mirrorless camera.

Next time get a mirrorless camera.

Unlikely.
1. Needs to have an optical viewfinder, not an electronic one
2. Needs to have a large sensor to allow better performance in low light
3. Needs to be well balanced when attached to a large lens.

Try Preloved?

My mirrorless fixed lens Fuji x100s has 1 (actually it has both), 2 (low light example below!), & well it's a fixed lens.

3. is the most important. You said you've hardly used your camera. I had the same problem, clunky DSLR, many lens. Now I take my camera everywhere with me. Everywhere, it's just that easy.

As they say, the best camera is the one in your hand.

Hardly used = 10,000 photos. The shutter is rated for 150k, so it is hardly used.
It's most certainly not clunky. I also have an underwater compact, a phone camera, the other two dSLR bodies (one crop, one full frame), a range of lenses (shortest is 24mm, longest is 500mm f/4.0 L IS) and The Wife (tm) has a compact, a dSLR and a couple of lenses.


A fixed lens compact is great for certain circumstances.
Hanging off a Land Rover in Botswana, or Sabi Sands, or Addo, or Kwandwe, or Samburu, and in my opinion it's worth having the right gear.
Capturing birds in flight? I'd prefer a long lens, not a 23mm (even on a crop sensor)


I contemplated getting a Fuji X-pro a few years ago, but that was to replace an aging Canon G9.


But the thread is not about what camera I should buy - I don't need to replace any, I just want to sell one!
