Welcome to SDS
We’re proud to officially introduce SDS, a trusted home for used cameras, built for photographers, filmmakers, and creators who care about quality gear and real value.
How It Started
SDS began as a small passion project back in the early days of Standard Def Sales — buying, restoring, and reselling 90s MiniDV camcorders like the Sony VX1000. What started as a niche skate-camera page on Instagram quickly turned into a full-time operation. We gained a following for our attention to detail, clean presentation, and honest approach to second-hand gear.
Over time, we’ve grown beyond the skate scene. Today, SDS buys, refurbishes, and sells everything from retro camcorders to modern mirrorless systems — Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Blackmagic, and more. Whether you’re a collector, a YouTuber, or a working creative, our goal is to help you find reliable gear at the right price.
What We Do
At SDS, we:
Buy cameras directly from individuals and professionals through our easy trade-in form.
Refurbish and quality-check every item in-house before resale.
Sell cameras, lenses, and accessories through sds.net, our official store, with transparent listings and a 6-month warranty on most products.
Every camera we sell is carefully inspected, cleaned, and tested — because second-hand shouldn’t mean second-best.
Our Vision
SDS is here to make buying and selling used gear simple, safe, and trustworthy. We’re building a community around transparency, sustainability, and passion for cameras — not just transactions.
Whether you’re upgrading your setup or passing on a piece of history, SDS exists to keep great gear in use and in the hands of people who will appreciate it.
Welcome to SDS.
A new era of camera buying and selling starts here.
