Q: Camera Condition & Grading

Does cosmetic wear affect the camera's performance? Never. Regardless of exterior condition, your camera is guaranteed to be 100% functional, and your final image quality will never be compromised. What should I expect from an "Acceptable Condition" camera? Maximum savings with deep discounts. Expect heavy visible cosmetic signs of use, including visible screen markings and physical blemishes, but perfect functionality. What do I get with a "Good Condition" camera? Smart savings on gently used gear. These show minor cosmetic signs of previous use from regular handling, minor body blemishes or screen markings. What does "Excellent Condition" mean? Near-mint, showroom-ready quality. These units show little to no visible cosmetic wear, feature entirely clean display screens free of scratches. Are these cameras autofocus or manual focus? We sell both. Our inventory includes auto and manual focusing film and digital models; please check the individual product specifications tab above for this specific model.
