Buying a used camera in Delhi’s camera market can be a smart and cost-effective way to get quality gear at a lower price. Start by visiting well-known areas like Chandni Chowk (especially the Foto Market on Esplanade Road) or Lajpat Rai Market, where many shops specialize in second-hand photography equipment. Once there, explore multiple stores to compare prices, brands, and models.
It’s important to inspect the camera thoroughly, check for scratches, dents, sensor cleanliness, and battery health. Test key functions such as autofocus, shutter, flash, and lens compatibility. Don’t hesitate to ask the seller about the camera’s usage history, warranty (if any), and return policy. Many reputable shops will allow you to test the gear or even offer limited warranties. Bargaining is common, so be prepared to negotiate for the best deal.
If you’re unsure, bring along a photographer friend or technician to help evaluate the condition. Buying from Delhi’s camera market gives you access to a wide variety of brands, models, and accessories—all in one place.
