Description
Camdex is the camera collection app for serious collectors. Catalog and value your vintage Leica, Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and Polaroid cameras — film SLRs, rangefinders, mirrorless bodies, lenses, and film stock. Identify any camera with AI and check live eBay market values.
I built Camdex because I collect vintage film cameras and needed a better way to keep track of and build my collection. Whether you're cataloging a lifelong collection or trying to identify the value of a mystery camera at a dusty flea market, Camdex is your ultimate companion.
INSTANT IDENTIFICATION & SCANNING
Spotted a camera in the wild and have no clue what it is? Snap a photo, and Camdex will instantly identify the brand, model, and specs. You can even scan receipts to auto-log the purchase price, date, and seller—because typing is overrated.
QUICK IMPORT
You can import your entire collection and appraise it in seconds. Either bulk upload photos of your cameras and let us fill in the information or upload a CSV or ZIP with all of your cameras.
CLOUD BASED
Camdex is multi-platform and cloud-based so you can view your collection anywhere.
LIVE MARKET TRENDS
Stop playing guessing games with your collection's value. Tap any item to see current market trends based on real, active listings. Camdex pulls live data straight from eBay to calculate average asking prices and confidence scores. You can even pick your specific region (like the US, UK, or Germany) so you always know the active market value in your local currency.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR COLLECTION
Organize your cameras and lenses however your brain works. SLRs, rangefinders, Zeiss folders, Leica glass, Soviet shooters, Polaroids, or modern mirrorless—bring 'em all. Log serial numbers, focal lengths, apertures, and lens mounts, plus add your own photos and notes to every entry.
WISHLIST & DEAL HUNTING
Keep a wishlist of cameras or lenses you're after with target prices. Camdex shows you active eBay listings for each item so you can jump on a deal the moment one appears. Spot something interesting but don't know what it is? Snap a photo, let the Camdex identify it, and add it straight to your wishlist.
EXPORT & SHARE
Generate a clean PDF report of your collection or export everything to a CSV file. Perfect for insurance documentation, color-coded spreadsheets, or just showing off your collection to your friends.
CLOUD SYNC
Create a free account to securely sync your collection across all your devices, or go off the grid and use it anonymously—no sign-up required to get started.
FREE TO USE, NO ADS
The core features for logging and organizing your collection are 100% free, forever. You also get 5 item scans each day. If you need to scan the whole flea market or a massive collection you can upgrade to Pro for unlimited access at just $1.99/month or $19.99/year to help support the dev and keep the servers humming. Zero ads, ever.
