MPB, an online sales platform for used camera gear frequented by Amateur Photographer readers, has released a chart showcasing the camera models with the highest value increases in the used market. The platform is known for both selling and purchasing used camera equipment. The report highlights that certain compact cameras, in particular, have experienced significant value surges over the past few years due to increased demand and limited supply.
For instance, the used Canon PowerShot G12 from 2010 has skyrocketed from £67 to £370, a 5.52x increase in value. Similarly, the 2009 PowerShot G11 has risen from £54 to £185, marking a 3.43x increase. Other models, such as the Canon PowerShot G9 from 2007, the Canon PowerShot G10 from 2008, and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, have also seen substantial value increases ranging from 3.22x to 3.30x.
The article suggests that the resurgence of interest in these cameras indicates a need for manufacturers to reintroduce more affordable compact cameras to bridge the gap between entry-level and premium models. The GX1 and GM5, both from Olympus, appear on the chart at numbers 7 and 10, respectively, reflecting their popularity among buyers.
Notably, Nikon's J1 mirrorless camera and the Olympus PEN E-PL7 rank at numbers 15 and 16, respectively, suggesting that the market is evolving. Canon dominates the top 25 list with 12 models, with the G12 leading the pack, indicating a strong preference and high resale value for Canon cameras. This data comes as a recent Internet survey of 3,434 Brits indicates a high likelihood of camera owners selling or trading in their devices, making it an opportune time for individuals to assess and potentially sell their unused camera gear.
MPB encourages camera owners to leverage this trend by visiting their website to obtain a free, no-obligation quote for their used cameras. The platform stresses that the information is provided to facilitate the sale or trade of cameras, particularly if they are listed in their top value charts.
