In this extensive buyer’s guide we reveal some of the best second-hand full-frame camera bargains to be had. <\/strong>Full-frame cameras are so common these days that it’s hard to believe at the turn of the millennium there were only a handful of Canon, Contax and Kodak DSLRs available, which are now either in museums or being used as paperweights!<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were expensive too, being mainly aimed at professionals and well-heeled enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

The arrival of the Canon EOS 5D<\/a> in 2005 marked a decisive shift towards full-frame DSLRs becoming more affordable, with other manufacturers soon following Canon\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n

These days, there are plenty of full-frame options, whether you want a DSLR or a mirrorless camera.<\/p>\n

While prices of mirrorless gear have fallen, you can still expect to spend upwards of \u00a31,000 on a new full-frame camera body.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is always the option of going down the second-hand route.<\/p>\n

With reputable second-hand dealers, such as Park Cameras, Wex, Ffordes and MPB offering decent warranties on used gear, the risk is acceptable for many customers.<\/p>\n

Second-hand full-frame camera bargains<\/h3>\n

Buying second-hand is a sure fire way to save yourself a pile of cash, especially if you\u2019re prepared to compromise a little by buying an older model.<\/p>\n

Sure, your chosen camera might not come with all the latest features and technology but, as long as all the basic photography tools are present and image quality isn\u2019t compromised, you can easily save yourself a fortune.<\/p>\n

By way of an example, the Canon EOS 6D cost \u00a31,399 body-only when it was released in 2012 but used examples in excellent condition can now be picked up for just \u00a3439.<\/p>\n

OK, so you won\u2019t have the latest model… but the savings you make could go towards a tripod or a couple of lenses.<\/p>\n

While buying second-hand does involve a fair bit of research and patience, we\u2019ve taken a good hard look at the websites and current stock of the most reputable second-hand camera equipment specialists in the UK in order to see what kind of savings are on offer.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve identified some of the best DSLR and mirrorless second-hand full-frame bargains<\/strong> you might want to consider. Read on to discover our choices…<\/p>\n
