Do any local shops cater to the Used market? Im looking for an older Rebel and want to avoid the gamble that is ebay/internet. My brother has an older Rebel and I LOVE the camera and would like to pick one up before our baby arrives in september. Id love a new model, but don't have the $$$ do to the baby coming soon. So where do you go for good used camera gear here in Denver? Or I guess online if that works too.

CL always has used DSLR's listed. Usually by Pro's who have upgraded. If it is a pro, they generally tell you how many pics have been taken by the camera. Do a search in Electronics for "Canon" and see what comes back.

No much there :(

Any other suggestions? Local shops? Trustworthy online shops?

Im looking at the 300D model, old, but exactly what I want and in my $$$ range at this point.

Used Digitals (http://www.thecameratrader.com/inventory/useddigi.htm) (typically the store has a few more than on the site - and the site'll have some other leads not in the store )

Dave (the owner) has been pretty good to deal with in the past. I haven't been in for 3 years maybe?

West of SantaFe (85) -- they are within a mile or two of High Country Performance 4x4 (Camera Trader is West of HCP4x4)

If you've been on that section of Hampden (285), the building backs to to the highway and is very blue...

What're you thinkin about spendin? I have a Minolta/Konica Dimage A200 you can play around with if you like. I carry it around for the movie mode. Not a true DSLR but closer to the format.

I've had great luck buying camera equipment on Ebay. Saved thousands too :thumbsup:. Ratings mean a lot.
