Market
The Canon EOS 300 was noted for its low cost at the time of use, with users referring to the body as "dirt cheap." While repair manuals and service diagrams are available online, there is no documented original retail price or widespread collectibility data for the camera body itself. Note: A Canon EOS 300 F2.8 IS lens (not the camera body) sold for $2,000 in "Very Very Good" condition, but this does not reflect the value of the EOS 300 camera.
