It is the intention of camprice.com to offer the camera buyer, whether collector or user, a comprehensive, reliable, fast and efficient way of judging the current world-wide value of photographic equipment, accessories, and literature. Although emphasis is placed on collectable equipment, users searching for pricing information concerning more modern cameras will find camprice.com very useful. In addition, the inclusion of relatively modern equipment allows the establishment of a meaningful database of values for when these cameras do finally become collector's items.

It is our firm belief that with the advent of the Internet, camera price level differences should become the stuff of legend. Collectors are already seeing evidence of this on sites such as eBay© and on the rec.photo.marketplace newsgroups. The person who has access to the most up to date pricing information will have the best chance of taking advantage of current market conditions in his or her local area.

There are three main reasons:

The first is quite simply because the hard copy references which you are used to using, such as McKeown's and the Hove Blue Book are outdated as soon as they are printed. Not only that, but you have to wait TWO years for the next edition. In this rapidly changing electronic world, two years can be a lifetime.

The second is value for money. The Camprice.com online subscription service costs less than the bookshelf variety, and gives you some things that hard copy price guides could never offer.

The third and maybe the most important is quality of information. With Camprice.com you have the experience and knowledge  available from various experts in the field of camera collecting. From the editor on down, Camprice.com works for you and with you because we are one of YOU!

1. Log on any time, anywhere you have an internet connection, and check the LATEST pricing information on any camera, lens, outfit, accessory or collectible literature in the database.
