How we built this list

Gear Gauge tracks used prices across the major used-gear sites. This list filters the catalog to cameras that match the criteria above, then ranks by deal score, so the camera at the steepest discount from its launch MSRP comes first. Prices and rankings refresh daily.

See the methodology page for how prices are sourced, how seller conditions are normalized, and what the deal score does and doesn't measure.
