I'm new at this and would appreciate any and all advice. This will be my first dslr camera and I've decided on this model (body only). My question is where do you recommend buying either a used or refurbished camera?
I've looked at ebay and will only buy from someone who will let me return the camera and has a guarantee. I've never bought anything on ebay in my life so I'm somewhat hesitant to use it. A co-worker of mine has bought a Tamron lens from ebay and has very positive things to say about ebay.
I've looked at keh.com and although the prices are a little higher I "feel" like this is a safer place to gamble on an older model. I also looked at B&H but they don't currently have the model that I am looking for.
Is my hesitation about ebay correct? What are your experiences with buying from the internet?
Finally, should I purchase a refurbished camera or am I ok with a used or slightly used camera body?
