What's moving fastest
The 10 most liquid models, ranked by verified sales. Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III EF Mount Lens led at 107.1 a week. High turnover means a fair price is easy to find — and easy to get, if you're the one selling.
What condition is worth
Grade-by-grade median for the Sony a7 III (51 graded sales) — Like New carried a 23% premium over Fair this month. The clearest read on how much cosmetic condition actually moves price.
Cheapest reliable way into each system
The lowest-median body per brand. The cheapest way into any system this month was the Canon EOS 10D at $39 — a sensible entry point if you're buying into a mount rather than a specific camera.
| Brand | Entry body | Median |
|---|---|---|
| Canon | EOS 10D | $39 |
| Nikon | D70 | $54 |
| Minolta | Maxxum STSI 35mm | $60 |
| Pentax | K1000 | $91 |
| Olympus | PEN E-PL1 MFT (Micro Four Thirds) | $104 |
| Panasonic | Lumix DMC-G3 | $154 |
Biggest movers
Largest median shifts versus 2026-08, gainers up in teal and decliners down in clay.

Early data is noisy on thin comps, so read direction more than magnitude for now.
