I am looking to buy a used Canon SLR (low end) and found those "too good to be true" sites. So, besides Ebay, Amazon and the obvious answers like that, do you know of any good websites?

I suggest B&H Photo:

or Adorama:
http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=itemlist&cat1=Used&cat2=Canon%20Digital&cat3=Cameras
Both websites provide a pretty acurate rating for the condition of their used equipment.

Hello! Well, there are a few problems with this idea. When you have a DSLR camera, you can't just have the camera. You have to buy extra lenses, and filters, and get it professionally cleaned periodically. It's really a long time investment. Lenses can be more expensive than the camera itself. A good lense is anywhere from $200-$1,500. Filters are expensive, and cleaning is expensive. But, if you are up for this, then I'll give you a few suggestions of some cameras. First, the Canon's. Canon's are slightly expensive, but well worth it. Since you aren't very serious about photography, and you just want Professional quality pics, I recommend the Canon Rebel XS. The Canon Rebel XS. It has a 10.1 megapixel sensor, which is great. As long as the camera has more than at least 5 megapixels, your camera is good. It has a very fast shutter speed, so it can take pics fast. This camera's price from Canon, is $569.99. It is a good price for the camera. Next, I recommend the Canon Powershot SX10 IS. This camera has a 10 megapixel sensor, which is again, great. It has a fast shutter speed, and an amazing 20x optical zoom! This camera is very affordable, coming from Canon at $399.99. You would be pleased with this camera. Now, let me tell you about Nikon. Nikon is an American brand, that has been around a long time. They are less expensive than Canon, but aren't as good of a quality. The Nikon I recommend, is the D60 this camera is one of the most compact, easy to use camera on the market. It has 10.2 megapixels, and a split-second shutter speed. There isn't a price from Nikon on this camera, but the prices at BestBuy, Target, Walmart, etc. are about $520-$550. You would be pleased with this camera. I hope you find what your looking for! :) ~Blake

www.bhphoto.com
www.keh.com--This is the best site for used equipment bar none. Honest, reliable, with a decent return policy.
For any other company, go to www.resellerratings.com before you buy.
Many MANY camera and electronic stores on-line are from Brooklyn NY and are scams. They sell for awhile, then shut down and open again under a new name. The usual thing is, you place the order for, say, a camera, way below normal retail. The order appears fine, in stock, blah blah. Then you get a phone call, they try to sell you a bunch of stuff, like batteries or cables, sometimes the stuff that is already in the box. At WAY WAY inflated prices, If you refuse, the best case scenario is they are suddenly out of stock. Worst case, they charge you a lot and you will never see the stuff on your doorstep.
EBay might be all right to buy from, just make sure your seller has good feedback (hopefully from selling similar items) and pay using a credit card through PayPal. Cameta auctions is a good seller on eBay.
Good luck finding your camera!

Just give it a little thought before buying a second hand Digital SLR. After all why would people sell them?
1) They are so old they are way out of date. No more support from manufacturer. Small megapixels counts, the first ones were 3MP and less.
2) They are ex professional cameras. They may have frame counts in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, after which they may develop sticky shutters etc.
3) They are abused children. Someone is selling it because of some niggling problem that they are hoping you won't discover in time to give them grief over.
As a photography enthusiast, I still have every camera I ever bought. Even the one camera I bought that I didn't like I still keep because I don't want anyone else to inherit its problems.
Just something to think about.
