How Do I Know Which Type Of Camera I have to Sell?

Knowing which type of camera you have to sell is the first step for earning cash for your digital camera trade in.

There are two major types of digital cameras: DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) and Point And Shoot (Compact)

A DSLR camera, also known as Digital SLR, combines a digital imaging sensor with a single reflex lens and has the ability to take high quality photographs.  A typical DSLR camera will require a detachable lens and be fairly complex.  DSLR cameras are almost always larger, heavier, and more expensive than point and shoot cameras.  A DSLR camera is most likely to be used by a professional photographer or photography enthusiast.  There are many models that carry a retail price tag of several thousand dollars.  Because of the demand, complexity and higher retail cost of DSLR cameras, they typically always carry significantly higher trade in values than compact cameras.

A digital Point and Shoot camera, also known as a digital compact camera, is a still digital photo camera that is meant for simple operation. They are typically lightweight and are easy to use with features such as a built in autofocus lens, compact flash, and automatic exposure settings.  Snapping a photo with a compact camera can be as easy as pointing it in the direction of your subject and simply clicking a button.  Point and shoot cameras are typically much more affordable than DSLR cameras but do not take photos that are nearly the same quality. Sales of point and shoot cameras have significantly declined over the last few years due to the rise in the quality of the smartphone camera.  The decrease in demand for point and shoot cameras has resulted in lower trade in values for this product category.
