SUMMARY
A trend towards retro compact cameras has dramatically increased the demand and value of older pocketable models. The Canon PowerShot G9, an advanced compact from 2007, has seen its used price increase fivefold in the last three years, now fetching up to $225. This surge is part of a broader trend where several Canon PowerShot models, along with some Panasonic Lumix and Olympus Pen series cameras, are now worth significantly more than they were just a few years ago.
