Best Value Refurbished Cameras in 2025

The refurbished camera market on eBay UK offers extraordinary value for photographers at every level. These picks represent the cameras that offer the best combination of image quality, features, build quality, and long-term value when purchased refurbished or used.

Under £500: Best Value Entry Points

Nikon D750 — Full-Frame for Under £500

The Nikon D750 remains one of the most compelling full-frame camera purchases available on the used market. Released in 2014, it features a 24.3MP full-frame sensor with excellent dynamic range, a tilting LCD screen (rare for full-frame DSLRs of its era), and outstanding low-light performance. Refurbished examples regularly appear on eBay UK in the £400–£500 range, making it one of the most affordable routes into full-frame photography.

The D750 is compatible with the entire Nikon F-mount lens ecosystem, meaning you have access to decades of quality lenses at used prices. Its 51-point autofocus system remains capable for most shooting scenarios, and the 6.5fps burst rate is adequate for casual sports and wildlife photography.

Canon EOS M50 Mark II — Compact Mirrorless Under £400

For those seeking a compact mirrorless camera at an accessible price point, the Canon EOS M50 Mark II offers a capable 24.1MP APS-C sensor, a flip-out touchscreen, and Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus system in a very compact body. It is particularly well-suited to content creators and travel photographers who prioritise portability.

£500–£900: The Sweet Spot

Fujifilm X-T4 — The Best All-Rounder

The Fujifilm X-T4 represents a significant step up in capability, adding in-body image stabilisation, a fully articulating screen, and 4K 60fps video to the already excellent X-Trans sensor platform. At £700–£1,050 refurbished, it offers a compelling combination of stills and video capability, along with Fujifilm's celebrated film simulation modes.

The X-T4 is particularly well-suited to photographers who value the shooting experience — the physical dials for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation make it feel genuinely different from the menu-driven interfaces of most modern cameras.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV — Professional Full-Frame

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a professional-grade full-frame DSLR that, when purchased refurbished, offers extraordinary value. Its 30.4MP sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, and weather-sealed body were class-leading at launch, and the camera remains entirely capable for professional work. Refurbished examples are available from £650, representing a saving of over £1,500 on the original retail price.

£900+: Premium Refurbished Options

Sony A7 III — The Mirrorless Benchmark

The Sony A7 III set the benchmark for full-frame mirrorless cameras when it launched and remains a highly capable system. Its 24.2MP BSI sensor, 693-point phase-detect autofocus, 5-axis IBIS, and 4K video capability make it one of the most versatile cameras available at any price point. Refurbished examples typically range from £850 to £1,200 — a significant saving on the original £2,000+ launch price.
