To learn more about our camera grades, please view our Grading Scale.

Grade

Grade: We grade every camera carefully so you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly what you’ll receive. Each one is thoroughly tested to ensure it works as intended, and our grading scale helps you understand the overall condition and any minor imperfections that distinguish it from a like-new example.

Grade 10 – Near Perfect: Near-perfect, minimal to no wear, flawless functions, crystal-clear lens.
Grade 9 – Excellent: Lightly used, faint scuffs, fully functional, clean lens.
Grade 8 – Great: Normal signs of use, minor surface marks, fully functional.
Grade 7 – Good: Well-loved with visible wear or small quirks, but everything works as it should.
Grade 6 – Fair: Heavier wear and noticeable imperfections. It may also have minor functional quirks or imperfections, but it is fully functional and full of character.

If you’d like more clarity regarding our classifications, please view our grading scale here, or please don't hesitate to reach out to our team — we’re always happy to help!

Usability

Usability: The 35-70mm zoom range makes this a versatile all-rounder — wide enough for travel and street scenes, with enough reach for flattering candid portraits. Metering and the built-in flash are accurate across a wide range of lighting conditions.

Beginner Friendly?: Mostly! Operation is still point-and-shoot simple, though it's worth spending a few minutes with the top dial before your first roll.
