Wilkinson’s Preowned Camera Grading System

We have our own grading system for the second-hand camera you’re thinking of purchasing to help make sure you can determine exactly what the quality is like:

• A – Mint condition – basically new, in its original box, no clear signs of use, you’d be surprised that the camera is preowned if you looked at it
• B – Excellent – slight signs of use only visible upon close inspection
• C – Very good – small signs of use like little marks, fine scratches or wear and tear
• D – Good – more visible signs of use, multiple marks, scuffs, wear and tear
• E – Well used – more obvious signs of use, wear and tear, bigger & deeper scuffs and scratches

So, if you’re looking to purchase one of our second-hand cameras, make sure to check it’s grading in the details section of the product. A camera can also be in B+, C+, D+ etc condition, this means they are on the verge of the next grade. E.g., a C+ means the camera is in very good condition, nearing on excellent.

Second-Hand DSLRs

Just starting your photography journey? Your perfect camera may be a lot cheaper than you think. Professional photographers often update their equipment when a new model is released, making second-hand DSLRs a popular option for amateurs and beginners. While new technology offers superb results, slightly older models offer a cost-effective option while you’re honing your photography skills. When choosing your ideal DSLR, think about the features that will suit your style of photography. For instance, if you shoot landscapes you will most likely want a Live View function to help with accuracy. Resolution is also an important factor – while most people believe the higher the resolution the better, this can often increase image noise.

A DSLR is a digital single-lens reflex camera, it combines the optics & mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, allowing us to physically look through our lens and perfect the shot. If you’re interested in a second-hand DSLR cameras, please browse our products above and see if you can find something you like. If you have something specific in mind, you can fill out our preowned wishlist and we’ll see if we can find the used DSLR you’re after.
