Canon DSLR camera selection EOS 40D 500D digital SLR camera acceptable

Description of condition – what was checked

Our analog SLR cameras are manually checked before sale and divided into four condition categories:

• Good: Technically fully functional with normal signs of wear. All main functions have been tested.
• Acceptable: Technically also fully functional, but with clearly visible signs of wear (e.g. scratches, wear).
• Partial defect: Camera is basically functional, but the exposure meter does not work or shows unreliable values.
• Defect: The camera has technical defects and is only suitable as a spare parts dispenser or for decorative purposes.

We check these functions:

• ✅ Trigger mechanism
• ✅ Film transport
• ✅ Shutter barrel (audio/visual check)
• ✅ Exposure meter (if available)
• ✅ Autofocus (if available)

We are checking these points not:

• ❌ Image Counter / Frame Counter
• ❌ Self-timer
• ❌ Condition of the mirror coating or mirror mechanics in detail

Please note that each camera is unique - visual differences (serial numbers, logos, slight scratches) are possible. The functional test is carried out with great care, but without long-term tests or film recordings.
