Prices from outside the UK include about 20% import VAT. Over £135 the courier may add a handling fee, and customs duty can apply. Work out the full cost with the import cost calculator.
A * after the working status means it comes from the seller's description, not the title.
Before you buy a used EOS 3
- Test the AF and the eye control. Check the back door latch.
- Fire every shutter speed with the back open: 1 second should sound clearly longer than 1/2, and the fast speeds should look different.
- Check the light seals around the back door and the mirror foam: they turn sticky or crumble with age (about £20 to replace).
- Look through the lens against a light for haze, fungus or scratches.
- Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a camera that doesn't work as described, but only if you pay through eBay. Our used film camera checklist has the tests to do the day it arrives.
Battery: 2CR5. The camera won't work without it. Battery finder →
Questions buyers ask
How much is a used EOS 3 worth?
On eBay UK today a tested / working, with lens Canon EOS 3 typically costs £738 delivered, with most between £677 and £781. A tested body on its own is about £682. These are asking prices, so many sell for a little less, especially with Best Offer.
Is it cheaper to buy a EOS 3 from Japan?
53 of the 59 Canon EOS 3 listings on eBay UK right now are posted from Japan. Japanese dealers grade cosmetic condition carefully ("Near Mint", "Exc+5"), but you pay import VAT and sometimes a courier fee, and returns take longer. All the prices on this page already include the VAT estimate.
What battery does the EOS 3 take?
2CR5.
Is a tested EOS 3 worth paying more for?
Right now tested examples are listed at about £13 (2%) less than ones where the seller doesn't say. A film-tested camera is the safest buy: an untested one can need a service costing £60 to £150.
What should I check before buying a used EOS 3?
Test the AF and the eye control. Check the back door latch. Fire every shutter speed with the back open: 1 second should sound clearly longer than 1/2, and the fast speeds should look different.
Are these sold prices?
No, they're asking prices from live eBay listings, refreshed daily. We record the daily typical price, so the history chart shows how asking prices move.
