Where to buy used camera??? - DPChallenge Forums

I'm dying to get a DSLR but don't really have the money for one. I want the Canon 20d but have recently decided to settle for the Nikon d50 because the prices have come down so much on these. I wouldn't mind getting a used camera and spending the money on some quality glass. Where is a good place to look for a used camera? Thanks.

Another good question to add is : What to look at before purchasing a used camera or lens?

Just went to the site and I have to register to browse the buy/sell forum. I tried to register and wouldn't except my email address and it's the only email I have. :(

You might also want to check with some of your local professional photographers. Some of them replace their cameras/upgrade frequently, and then they're looking to unload their old ones.

I would recommend Glenn's Fair Price here in Harrisonburg, but he said he hasn't ever gotten a single DSLR in trade. He'll eventually get my Olympus for the final payment on my D30. He also doesn't have a website.
