Looking to possibly upgrade to a 90D body and was curious as to the worth of a 60D body.

Search the internet or go up Adorama or b&h to see if they have any listed. eBay is a good spot to check also.

I wouldn't expect it to sell for more than $200, if you can find anyone interested even at that price.

Thanks for the information. If that is the resale value on a 60D, I guess I will have to continue to take pictures with it.
It still takes good pictures.

Go onto eBay and do a search for "Canon 60D" and then check "sold" in the filters on the left (scroll down to find it). This will give you some idea of the range of recent selling prices. You'll need to look at a bunch of the sales more closely for condition, other things included with the camera that might add value, shipping costs, etc. Average the sale price of a dozen or so similar to the condition of what you'll be selling and that should give you a pretty good idea what you would get for it, selling it outright yourself. You'd probably get 1/3 or 1/2 that much trading it in to a dealer, against the purchase of the new camera.

It will be worth more as a backup. I bought a 6D several years ago and kept my T2i as a spare. Mounted a 28mm EF and it makes a great street camera. That 18MP sensor will make as good a picture as the day you bought it.

Keep it as a backup. Had one and ultimately gave it and all my Canon gear to a local high school because of switching to Oly. But it is a spectacular camera.

A camera is worth exactly what someone wants to pay for it. Here is what your camera is selling for on ebay, this is what your should reasonably expect to get for it.

Keep in mind that no matter how little it is worth it won't be too long before that 90D will be just as worthless. I still have my old D60 along with my not-worth-much-more 60D. That's why I'm not interested in acquiring any more camera equipment. No GAS here.
If you think the 90D will take better pictures check out UHH member "Silvias", the world traveler from North Yorkshire, England. The camera she uses is a Canon 650D with the 18-55mm lens. That camera is known as the Canon T4i in the U.S. It's been around since 2012 and is not the most sophisticated camera Canon makes but she gets rave reviews and a lot of flattering comments about her photos.

Failure is when you talk yourself out of buying a better camera.
But, as our OP knows, the EOS 60D is an advanced camera. We didn't get any reasons for changing / upgrading, such a faster frames per second, or better high ISO performance, or a high pixel resolution for cropping. These would be valid reasons as well as tangible benefits. Holding onto an older camera you'll never use because of its low residual resale value is not valid. Avoiding GAS until a camera final does die, maximizing that original investment is a great approach where maybe a new lens will breathe some new life into this older camera.

Failure is not the option that I consider in photography. It’s a hobby, not a profession..
Along with the 60D, I also have a Rebel T7i, lenses include Canon 18-135 and 70-300. Also recently purchased are 2 Sigma Contemporary lenses,18-300 and 150-600.
In purchasing the Sigma lenses, I did a lot of reading and made sure that all my lenses are interchangeable with both bodies.
As far as pixel rating and cropping.... I have to leave that to those that know.
I do appreciate your knowledge and thank you for your responses.

The EOS T7i is as advanced as the EOS 80D, in some ways more. You're probably set on bodies at this point.
