Meta is reportedly exploring how it can allow users to create, showcase, and sell NFTs on Instagram as well as Facebook. NFTs have been growing in popular culture over the last year and Meta's support would be a large indication they're here to stay.
Let's take a look at some of the data with regard to the latest trends in camera gear buying, trading, and selling. Specifically, we'll take a look at what lenses hold on to their value better: primes or zooms.
Canon and Nikon have ruled the DSLR landscape for a couple of decades now, but which one has proven more valuable in the long run? Let’s set the scene and then crunch some numbers.
Check out this tin that's designed to look like the vintage Leica M3 35mm rangefinder camera. From a distance it may be mistaken for the real thing, but the storage tin simply has the design printed flat on the surface.
Whoa. There's a major sale going on that you may want to be aware of if you're in the market for particular cameras and lenses. Newegg is offering an amazing coupon that takes a whopping 25% off select gear.
IKEA has announced its new "Art Photography" collection, a new series of 11 limited-edition fine art photos that will soon go on sale in IKEA stores in the United States.
The day is finally here: Amazon launched its first ever Prime Day today with sweet deals for Prime subscribers across many product categories -- including photography gear.
eBay and Craigslist are two services photographers often turn to if they're trying to buy or sell some used camera gear. It looks like Facebook may be gunning for a piece of that pie.
The company is testing a new feature that's allowing some users to sell goods in Facebook groups with an official new "Sell Something" feature. The new post type creates a simple for sale listing that's reminiscent of what you might see on Craigslist.
Up till now, picking up a Fuji X-Series camera -- in the literal sense -- usually meant making your way to the local camera store... assuming it's still in business. But apparently that is no longer the case. As long as there's a Best Buy nearby, you can now pick up an X-Series cam in-store.
Yesterday, Bloomberg reported that Redwood City-based photo publishing service Shutterfly is looking to sell itself off. Currently in talks with the investment bank Qatalyst Partners to find a buyer, the report explains that these are only preliminary talks and are no guarantee any transaction will go through.
Sigma raised some eyebrows when they announced their upcoming DP Quattro cameras with their new Foveon Sensor and... unique... design. But even with eyebrows raised, at $1,000, the overhead for investing in this new and interesting tech might be a bit steep for some.
In hopes of convincing these people that the camera is worth the investment, Sigma has announced a new “Try Before You Buy” program that will put the funky looking shooter in the hands of at least a few curious souls.
If you’ve wanting to get your paws on a pair of Google Glass, your chances have been few and far between... until now. As of today, Google is opening up the sales of the Google Glass headset to all of the United States, assuming they’re in stock and you have $1.5k to burn.
National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey made $10K selling prints on Instagram earlier this week, but it wasn't because he needed the money. The incredibly talented photog wants to bring the joy of prints to a whole new generation because, in his own words, "Prints make the world a better place. Period."
The popularity of Instagram as a place where you can buy or sell goods (both legal and otherwise) is well-established, but we were still surprised to find out that Leica Brazil has begun selling one of its cameras straight through the photo sharing site.
It seems like new and improved camera gear pops up every couple of weeks these days, leading to an endless cycle of discover, buy, sell and repeat. Well, if you're the kind of person who always wants to have the newest gear around, and you're constantly selling off your old gear on eBay to make it happen, the website has just officially announced a new feature that will make your life much easier.
Called My Gadgets, the new eBay feature can keep track of all of the gear you own and let you know about how much you can expect to make when you sell it, making it that much easier when it comes time to upgrade.
LensRentals is at the height of its popularity and still growing. About a week ago, we shared some stats that more than proved this, showing how a company started by one man and $5,500 dollars in 2006 is now a 42 person operation on track to bring in $13 million this year.
But if you think that LensRentals has reached a point where it is content to rest on its laurels, you would be wrong. The company has just launched a brand new site, LensAuthority, where it will sell off the used gear it is constantly turning over through the main website.
Mark Kologi is known by many simply as "The Photo Man," and over the years he has bought, sorted and sold over three million forgotten personal photos. It's his passion, and the connection he has forged with his photos and the people who buy them shows in this short documentary by Ben Kitnick.
Most stock photography websites and agencies work the same way: photographers upload their work, set prices, and let clients browse for what it is they're looking for. If the client wants a photo of a family on the beach, they'd better hope someone came through. And on the other end, the photographer has to hope that they're putting work out there that people will actually want to use.
Advertising creatives Cassandra Nguyen and Grazina Snipas' new website PicoImages does away with that model, replacing it with more of a "stock photography to order" sort of system.
Buying and selling used photography gear usually involves either driving to your local camera shop or hunting down the right product on website such as eBay or (if you're really brave) Craigslist. But Australian photographers just got a different, photography centered option thrown their way.
Dubbed Digital Camera Exchange, the new website gives photo enthusiasts a place to sell their gear to others in much the same way they would on big auction sites such as eBay.
The advent of smartphone photography and the drop in price of entry-level SLRs have, together, introduced many people to the wonderful world of photography. Ourspot, a new marketplace for buying and selling photographic talent, is targeted at this growing population of enthusiasts and amateurs.
In 1997, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design held an art sale to give student and alumni artists an opportunity to offer their creations to art collectors. They offered around 1,000 pieces by 86 different artists, including prints by photographers. Since then, the MCAD Art Sale has exploded in popularity.
This year the organizers are hoping to sell thousands of artworks by hundreds of artists at a rate of 7 pieces per minute. The sales will add to the $1,875,000 that has been paid out to artists through the sales over the years.

DSLR Solutions has a new follow focus kit that allows you to keep track of focus points without being bulky or expensive. The $60 kit is basically a clamp, a velcro strap, and some metal markers that attach to the strap. Attaching the markers allows you to bounce between focus points, or keep track of a number of points if you have multiple subjects. We've featured a number of DIY follow focus solutions here in the past, but using a velcro strap and markers is something we haven't seen before.
Etsy seller Mariko Carandang sells handmade jewelry, and one of her products is this small treasure locket that's meant to look a little like the Polaroid SX-70.
The treasure locket is perfect for those of us who find and get attached to small objects that get lost in the bottom of a pocket or handbag, but don't quite fit in a wallet. It will keep those trifling but meaningful objects close to you at all times. You can use it to carry a tiny photograph or a good luck charm. Keep a scroll of paper with your favorite quote on it-- a quote you mean to live by.
