Used price spread on eBay

Before you buy a used Sony Alpha 7 IV (Body Only)

  • Ask for the shutter count
  • Shoot a plain sky at f/16 to check for sensor dust or scratches
  • Test both card slots and the articulating screen
  • Check the rubber grips and port covers for wear
  • Confirm whether it is a US unit with a valid warranty

New, used or refurbished?

Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
