Canon EOS 5D Mark III

MPB trade-in price: £620 (Excellent condition)

While this DSLR has served me very well indeed over the years, I think it’s time to switch over to a mirrorless setup and future-proof myself, while there’s still some value left in this old workhorse.

1 Canon EOS R5

The obvious step would be to swap one ‘5’ for another. The R5’s 45MP full-frame sensor is also capable of capturing 8K video in a portable mirrorless body. New: £4,299 MPB price*: £3,989 (Like New condition)

2 Canon EOS R6

Less than half the amount of megapixels than the R5, but for an outlay that mirrors that fact. The R6 is even more affordable when bought pre-owned. New: £2,599

MPB price*: £2,229 (Excellent condition)

3 Sony Alpha 7R III

This camera is great value – and given that I can use my Canon EF glass on it via Sigma’s excellent MC-11 adapter, it looks even more compelling.
