Why Choose Pre-Owned?

Exceptional Value for Money

Buying pre-owned is better for your wallet. You can purchase a camera at a significantly reduced price compared to buying new. Or choose a higher-end model without spending more money.

Sustainable Choice

By choosing a pre-owned camera, lens, or tripod, you give it a second life and help reduce CO₂ emissions and the use of new raw materials.

Inspected Inventory

Before being offered for sale again, all pre-owned products are thoroughly inspected and cleaned by our experts. We also always indicate the condition of the product, so you can make an informed decision.

What Should You Look Out for When Buying Pre-Owned?

Our experts carefully inspect and clean all pre-owned products before they are offered for sale. However, there are naturally a few things you should pay attention to yourself when buying pre-owned equipment. If you do, you can be confident that you're getting a great deal!

Product Condition

Our experts inspect every product we take in before it is listed for sale. Based on this inspection, they determine the overall condition of the product. That way, you know exactly what to expect.

Camera Shutter Count

Every time you take a photo with a camera, the shutter is activated. This is called a click. The shutter is a mechanical component and wears over time, just like a car accumulates mileage. Therefore, the shutter count provides a good indication of how intensively a camera has been used.

Every camera has an expected shutter lifespan, usually between 100,000 and 300,000 clicks, depending on the model and brand.
