Looks like a pretty solid base. I think your wear and tear is all too uniform. Think about more unique wear and dirt. Like how was the camera used and how would that wear down the camera. What edges would catch and get little dent and scrapes? Where does dirt collect? Where was the camera held? Maybe smooth the surfaces there. Was it dropped or stained? Here is a quick paintover and ref:
Actually just found some better ref for you. Notice the unique wear at the edges of the painted metal and dials. The dirt collecting in the crevices. The smoothing of the blue leather on the side and how it's darker around the edges where is sees less use. You just need these unique moments to really sell it.
