We’re lucky. Digital camera features improve at a lightning-fast pace, but our real needs as photographers increase at a slower, more rational rate. Most photo enthusiasts are rightfully content using a model that’s two or three seasons behind in the “latest and greatest” race because it has every feature they need and then some. This is particularly true with DSLRs, a category that has recently been deemphasized by manufacturers pursuing the mirrorless bandwagon.

What does all this mean to you? It means that the DSLR you longed for when it was first introduced a few seasons back is still a viable, exciting imagemaker, and now you can own it at a cost much lower than when it debuted. MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video gear, has hundreds of DSLRs in stock and priced ready to sell. And because MPB recirculates more than 485,000 pieces of photo equipment every year, you can offset the cost of your purchases via trade-in.
