Hey everybody,
I was wondering if somebody out there knows of any good places/websites where i could possibly buy a used dlsr or some equipment. Im aware of ebay, but is there anything else that maybe focuses on cameras? Has anybody gone through ebay, and had a positive experience? |

both KEH and B&H have used equipment that you can trust. I have purchased mostly new from B&H, and have purchased only used from KEH. I have never been dissapointed with either. Check out the used department of their sites.

| assuming sellers do not reset their shutter count, take note of it, especially on dSLR where mechanical failures of the flip mirror/prism is most often the source of failure I've heard about from a local photography forum. |

Just the other night I heard at camera club that the "Shutter Cycle" of the 300D is 30,000 cycles and that someone had their whole mechanism fall apart at 30,100. The impression I got was that the camera was a throw-away at that point. Did I hear correctly?

| I will be selling my Nikon D70 kit this week. A friend of a friend is interested in buying it. If she doesn't, then it will be for sale for about $850 with a few extras. |

Do you want a wireless remote? Or a cable release?
RS-80N3 (cable release)
//www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009R6VZ/sr=8-1/qid=1141053095/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-2975397-4439355?%5Fencoding=UTF8
You can get an off-brand cable release on ebay for about $10. Wireless you're stuck though...super expensive.
LC4T (wireless)

adidt makes a wireless setup for the 20D. The 20D has a different wireless receiver than the Rebel series of cameras (nobody knows why except the basic rip-off factor), so you will have to use a PC-sync receiver and wireless transmitter.

If you are in Toronto check out Henrys then click on the used tab. Not a really great selection, but sometime you can find a gem. |

I just received my 20D battery Grip (no AA battery holder...I wanted it that way) in Ex+ condition from //www.keh.com for $119.00. Works a treat.
My bud at work trades lens/bodies with them often, I seen nothing but fair trades and great equipment (go Ex+ or Better on the ratings when buying) |

Not sure if it can be repaired at a reasonable price tho. Anyway, I've also heard that some people get away with DOUBLE the cycle number - lucky chaps. |
