With the recession looming over us, many people are selling their camera equipment for extra cash. In times like these, you can get some great deals buying second-hand camera equipment. With some exotic and collectible camera equipment going for much less than usual. However, selling your unwanted camera equipment can be quite challenging depending on what you are selling and who is the Buyer. I have found Leica, Hasselblad, Rollei TLR's, Nikon manual focus SLR cameras seem to hold their value with no significant price drops. Lenses for Canon/Nikon DSLR bodies in good/mint condition hold their value and are well sought after. Although, the grey market always offers a significant price drop than everywhere else. There are some good deals to be had. However, there are some important things to remember when buying camera equipment on the grey market. Some of the items do not always offer International warranty. Which means the item may not be covered by the manufacturer in your country, the warranty only covers the country of purchase. Also customs tax, some sellers state in their ads there is no customs tax. So beware, read the seller feedback reviews to find out about the seller from other buyers before you bid or buy.

My own experience, I bought a Nikon D200 for £1100 from Jessops in December 2007 and I sold it to a reputable camera dealer for £250.00 in November 2009. Which was quite heart wrenching at the time considering the amount of money I paid for the camera. It shows how quickly the technology can become obsolete in the ever competing and developing Digital age. If sell your camera to a high street shop expect to lose 40% on commission sales for second-hand camera gear. Some camera shops will part-exchange your camera gear with other camera equipment, but still include the 40% commission sale in the part-exchange. Bear in mind, they are always trying to maximise their profit!!. So it is important you stick to the price you have in mind or pull out of the deal if you think you are not getting a fair price!!

Alternatively, you can advertise your camera gear for sale on Photography websites/forums/classifieds, or even eBay. With eBay it does offer some protection against fraudulent buyers than classified ads. When selling items on eBay it is important to describe your items for sale as clearly as possible with the use of photos and a detailed description. I have found when selling expensive camera equipment it is important that bidders have a high feedback score of 98% or above. This suggests the bidder is a good buyer and will pay promptly at the end of the auction, and also this reduces amount of time wasters/fraudsters bidding in your auction. For expensive goods eBay offers buyer and seller protection relying on the buyer giving positive feedback, before any funds are transferred to the Seller. If you go onto the eBay forums there is a whole host of information on selling and buying on eBay which is worth reading before you sell or buy items on eBay

The main thing to remember is to stick your selling price!! Do not sell the item if you are not completely happy with the deal. Do some research on other Sellers selling the same equipment to gauge how much your item is being sold. This is a good indication of what asking price you can expect for your camera equipment. It is also worth noting within your ad/auction whether you will return goods if the buyer is not happy. This is very important this is mentioned in the ad/auction. As it tells the buyer before they bid or buy the item the terms of conditions of the sale. Also, if the buyer can return goods if they are not happy with the item. You must state under what conditions will you offer a refunds. It is worth mentioning to the buyer in the ad/auction they have 7 /10 days to return the sold goods from the date the auction ended or when the item was sold. The items must be in the same condition as they bought it, and they must cover shipping costs before you can offer a refund. With all business deals you want to feel both seller and buyer are happy with the deal.

Information About Digital Cameras Available

As a photographer I understand why its so important to have all the right equipment such as lenses, tripods, and camera cases but one of the most important parts is the actual camera itself. If you don't buy the right camera like an SLR and instead you buy a compact like a Sony DSC you can almost expect your pictures to not turn out right. There's a big difference between compact cameras, SLRs, and larger cams like the Hasselblad!

Compacts are designed to be small, light weight and portable. These are usually the most inexpensive and smallest of all the cameras. Compact cameras are a good idea for people that are willing to sacrifice things such as advanced features, advanced lenses, and quality. Small format is good for an amateur that is just getting into photography but isn't willing to spend a bundle on it. Medium format cameras are good for professionals or people wanting to do photography professionally.

Medium formats come very close to large formats, and are a good way to test out the waters. And lastly large format cameras are fit for a king. Not only are they larger in size compared to the other three, but they are large in price as well. You can find large format cameras for as expensive as $5,000 or more depending on the brand you're looking at. These cameras are obviously fit for professional photographers and a lot of people in the fashion industry use these!

You can start out at any level you please, but make sure if you buy a camera that is $5,000 that you know you're going to use it, you are going to know how to use it, and you're going to really get your money out of using it! I took the middle road and bought a medium format camera because I knew I wanted to be a professional photographer eventually and I wanted a really good camera that was going to stand up to the places I would be traveling and doing. Here are a few examples of each level along with some popular brands you might find:

Compacts -
Olympus Stylus 760
Samsung Digimax S1000
Canon PowerShot SD950

Small & Medium Format -
Pentax K110D
Olympus SP510 UZ
Canon Powershot SX110

Large -
Calumet 45NXII
Sinar F 4x5 View Camera
Hasselblad H3D II-39MS Digital Camera

I mean all these cameras are great but again, if you are starting at a certain level be sure to look at the cameras available within that level. There's no sense in buying a large format camera if you have never even touched a camera before, do you really think you are going to know what each function does? What each button does? What aperture is and what hot shoe means? Probably not! When I bought my camera it cost around $400 and I had never touched a camera before, besides a regular little compact camera.

I did it backwards but was determined enough to figure the darn thing out on my own without help or instructions. But like with anything else in life just because "they" say you can't be self-taught (photography, writing, acting, cooking) doesn't mean they are always right! But in most cases I really would suggest working your way from level 1 to level 2 and then to 3. It gives you an easier understand about what everything is for!

Amateur Photog Seeks Camera. Which one?

Hi.

I'm in the market for a new camera (Mine was lifted off of me.), and I simply cannot decide which DSLR model to buy. If money was no object, I'd, of course, go with a Hasselblad, but being that I am a poor college student I can't really afford anything above $600-$700.

When it gets down to it, I want the best camera I can buy for my money (Who doesn't??), and it's really important that at least a basic lens is included in my base price.

In the end, here are my qualifications:

Excellent quality picture
Basic lens included in the price
Ease of use / user friendly
Moderately fast shutter speed
As high MP's as possible within the price range

Thanks in advance for any of your help!

If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense and Live View] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28_pg5.html

It's an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing skateboarding, action sports; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature and concert photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $464 at amazon.com. in the U.S.

Here's an actual handheld picture of the moon:
