In the two weeks ending Tuesday, Aug. 29, top searches in the DSLR category included “canon” and “nikon” and various model names for the two brands. PMA Marketing Research utilized eBay Marketplace Research tool to analyze the pricing trends of new, unopened units for some of the best selling DSLR models on eBay. (Note: While the terms “kits,” “packages,” “like,” and “used” were all excluded from the search criteria, some listings still included bundled or used items.)
