How it works
The MPB Used Camera Gear Price Index shows price trends for the 100 most popular cameras and lenses against a fixed weighted average over 3, 6, 12 or 36 months.
Based on the Laspeyres method, the index is weighted based on the quantity traded from the most recently completed financial half-year. The index uses a weighted average. By considering the fixed volume weighting at model level and applying the changing model price, this accounts for model popularity but isolates price trends.
The data automatically updates daily. MPB’s Data & Analytics experts update the 100 model selection, as well as the model weighting, every six months. MPB's index shows trends individually across the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom.
The index uses data from MPB Re.Value—the world’s leading proprietary dynamic pricing engine for used camera gear with millions of data points—to accurately reflect changes in used camera gear prices.
