Wait or sell camera before Photokina?

RMGoodLight · Aug 28, 2018

Simple question: How will the Photokina influence prices on the used market? Is it better to wait after the fair or buy or sell before?

And will there be brands that win in value?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts about it.

The following is a list of mainstream Digital cameras that I can think of that have appreciated in value as time passed:

1

2

3

I am sure there will be people who will be able to list some unique situations and exceptions, but personally I assume 99% of digital cameras depreciate on a near daily basis. Of course maybe you have or want the 1%.

For selling, I see no advantage in waiting. Cameras always depreciate...

For buying, if you want to wait for Photokina it won't hurt you. But I doubt it would save you much either. If you can wait for holiday sales in Nov/Dec, that might be worth it.
