Why buy used camera gear at Lansing Camera?

Can I buy used cameras and gear online or only in-store?

All of our used cameras and gear are sold in-store, and that's by design. With used equipment, seeing it in person matters even more. You can hold the camera, check its condition up close, and test the controls before you buy. Our team is right there to answer questions about each piece's history and how it fits your needs, so you walk out confident in your purchase instead of wondering what will show up at your door.
What are the benefits of buying quality used photography gear vs. new?

Buying used lets you get more camera for your money. You can step up to a higher-end body or lens that might be out of reach new, or build out your kit with extra lenses, flashes, and accessories for the same budget. Used gear also opens the door to classic film cameras and lenses that are no longer made, each with its own character and history. And because you're shopping in person, you can see the condition for yourself and get honest advice from our team before you buy. Plus, giving quality gear a second life is a smart, sustainable choice.
How does selling my used camera equipment work?

Selling your gear is simple. We're always looking for quality, gently used cameras, lenses, flashes, tripods, and accessories, both film and digital. Just bring your equipment to our store at 6006 Pennsylvania Ave, Lansing, MI 48911, and one of our team members will meet with you, assess your items, and make you an offer. It's an easy way to turn the gear you're no longer using into value toward your next camera, and to pass it along to a photographer who will put it to good use.
