Choosing a mirrorless DSLR camera body often comes down to a trade-off between listed price, condition, and the kind of shooting you actually do. The four listings here range from a $224.99 used Olympus body to a $899.99 brand-new sealed Sony creator camera, so there is no single correct answer. What matters is whether you want the lowest-cost path into a mirrorless system, a refurbished silver camera at a middle price, a hybrid body with a newer-condition label, or a video-focused body with a clearly new-condition listing.
Quick take
If the lowest listed price is your starting point, the EXC Olympus OM-D E-M5 is the first body to compare. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II splits the price difference with a silver body and refurbished label. The Canon EOS R5 steps up to a new-condition listing for hybrid stills and video work. The Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II is the most video-focused option here, offered as a brand-new sealed body.
Listed price comparison
| Product | Listed price | Price bar | Condition |
| EXC] Olympus OM-D E-M5 16.1MP Mirrorless Camera Body + Battery + Charger | USD 224.99 | | Used |

How to choose
Use the condition column as a checkpoint. In this group, you have one used body, one Good - Refurbished body, and two new bodies. If the lowest cost matters most, the used Olympus is the practical starting point. If you want a newer-condition label without moving to the top price, the Canon and Sony are the two new options. The real decision then becomes the feature set. The Olympus bodies are priced lower, the Canon is built around hybrid performance, and the Sony is aimed at video and creator use.

Product notes
#### EXC Olympus OM-D E-M5 16.1MP Mirrorless Camera Body + Battery + Charger
The first decision point is the $224.99 listing. This used Olympus body uses a Micro Four Thirds lens mount and has a 16.1MP Live MOS sensor with five-axis in-body image stabilization. The kit includes a genuine Olympus BLN-1 battery and BCN-1 charger, which makes it easier to start shooting as long as you already have a Micro Four Thirds lens or plan to buy one. The used condition and quoted 5,684 shutter count are the main caveats, along with the fact that it is body-only with no lens, memory card, strap, flash, or other accessories.
#### Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II Silver Mirrorless Camera Body
Listed at $312.00, the silver E-M5 Mark II carries the Good - Refurbished label. According to the listing, the exterior has scuffs and scratches, the sync cap is missing, and the battery chamber sealing shows minor deterioration, but the camera works perfectly and has been inspected by professional repair services. It comes with an English menu, battery, charger, flash, CD-ROM, and instructions. The listed model is the OM-D E-M5 II. For someone who likes the Olympus handling and wants a refresh of the E-M5 formula without stepping up to the full-frame price range, this is a reasonable middle ground. The trade-off is cosmetic wear and a missing sync cap.
#### Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only), Full-Frame Hybrid Camera
This listing moves up to $668.99 and is the only full-frame body in the group. The Canon EOS R5 is described as new, with a stacked 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor, DIGIC X image processor, and 8K video recording. It also lists dual pixel CMOS AF with 1,053 AF points, Eye Control AF capability, and continuous shooting up to 12 fps with mechanical shutter and 20 fps with electronic shutter. If you want a body that can handle both high-resolution stills and 8K video, this is the standout on paper. The main trade-off is that it is body-only and costs more than double the E-M5 listing.
#### Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II Mirrorless Camera Body Only Brand New SEALED
The most expensive listing in this set, the Sony ZV-E10 II comes in at $899.99 and is marked Brand New SEALED. The listed features read like a creator checklist: 4K video recording, 2160p UHD, 1080p HD, AF lock, audio recording, Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi, a tiltable touchscreen, and YouTube mode. The model is listed as zV E10 ii, and the body is made in Japan. For a shopper who wants a video-forward camera body with a new condition label, this listing directly targets that use case. The trade-off is the higher listed price compared with the other bodies, and you will still need to add a lens and other accessories.
Final recommendation by use case
For the lowest listed price, start with the EXC Olympus OM-D E-M5 and plan to add a lens. For a refurbished silver body with a Mark II name, choose the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II and accept the cosmetic wear. For hybrid stills and video with a new-condition body, the Canon EOS R5 is the listing to consider. For video-first, creator-focused shooting, the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II is the option that matches that workflow.
