Quick take
If you are shopping the used mirrorless DSLR camera market with $100 to $215, the real decision is whether you want a Canon Rebel kit with an 18-55mm lens or a lower-priced Nikon body. Three options here are Canon Rebel kits: the T6 at $214.99, the T100 at $199.99, and the T5 at $179.95. The fourth is the Nikon D200 at $100.00, a body-only camera that will require you to bring a lens and other accessories.
All four are listed as used, black-body cameras with lithium-ion batteries. The price spread across the group is about $115 from the Nikon D200 to the Canon EOS Rebel T6 kit. The Nikon D200 is the only body-only choice; every Canon Rebel includes an EF-S 18-55mm lens in its kit.
Which option fits your use case?
- Choose the Canon Rebel T6 if you want a Canon kit with a listed charger, HDMI and USB connectivity, and a lens included at $214.99.
- Choose the Canon Rebel T100 if you want a Canon lens kit with Wi-Fi listed among its features at $199.99.
- Choose the Canon Rebel T5 if you want the lowest listed price among the Canon kits with a lens at $179.95.
- Choose the Nikon D200 if you need the lowest entry price at $100.00 and are prepared to add a lens, battery, and memory card separately.

Product notes
Canon EOS Rebel T6 18MP Digital SLR Camera, EF-S 18-55mm Lens
At USD 214.99, this is the highest-priced option in this group, and it has the most complete package. The body is black and used, and the kit includes a lithium-ion battery, a charger, and the EF-S 18-55mm lens. Connectivity includes both HDMI and USB, and the feature list includes 1080p HD video recording, a built-in flash, and interchangeable lenses. If you want one complete Canon kit and are comfortable spending at the top of the price range, this is the straightforward pick. The trade-off is price: it costs $15 more than the Rebel T100 and $114.99 more than the Nikon D200 body, so you are paying for the fuller kit and the extra connectivity details.
Canon EOS Rebel T100 18MP DSLR Camera, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens
At USD 199.99, the Rebel T100 sits just below the T6 while still delivering a lens kit. This black Canon kit includes the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III lens, a charger, and a lithium-ion battery. Among the listed features, Wi-Fi is the standout addition. If you want to move photos without a cable, this is the model to consider. Its listed connectivity is USB, while the T6 lists both HDMI and USB. The price is $20.04 higher than the Rebel T5, so you are mainly paying for the Wi-Fi feature and charger inclusion rather than the lowest possible cost.
Canon EOS Rebel T5 18.0 MP DSLR Camera Kit with EF-S 18-55mm
At USD 179.95, this is the most affordable Canon Rebel in the comparison. It still arrives as a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm lens, and the listed attributes include auto focus, built-in flash, a tripod thread, 1080p HD video recording, and mini-HDMI connectivity. For a shopper who wants a Canon DSLR and is trying to keep the price below the other Rebels, this is the natural choice. The limitation is the gap to the Nikon D200: the T5 costs $79.95 more than the D200 body, and while it includes a lens, the D200 is body-only. If you do not need the included lens, the cheaper route is the D200.
Nikon D200 Digital SLR Camera Body
At USD 100.00, the Nikon D200 is the lowest-priced product in this group, but it is also the least complete. The title says it is a camera body, and the description confirms it will come with original packaging but no battery or memory cards. You will need to supply a lens, battery, and memory card on your own. Its listed attributes include lithium-ion battery type, black finish, USB connectivity, and auto focus. The description also mentions slight peeling from the grip, so expect some cosmetic wear in addition to the used condition. Choose this model if your priority is the lowest entry price and you are ready to build out the missing pieces yourself.
Final recommendation by use case
If you want the easiest path to a shooting kit, the Canon EOS Rebel T6 at $214.99 gives you a lens, charger, HDMI, and USB in one package. If you want a Canon kit with Wi-Fi, choose the Rebel T100 at $199.99. If the price is the main issue and you still want a Canon lens kit, the Rebel T5 at $179.95 is the way to go. If you are willing to source a lens, battery, and memory card separately, the Nikon D200 at $100.00 is the budget-first choice.
