Is buying from ebay safe for cameras?

I don't have anything on this site about eBay specifically, so I can't tell you whether it's safe. What I can say is that buying used is one of the best ways to afford good gear, and a body one or two generations old is often most of the camera for much less money. The buying used page covers how to do it without ending up with someone else's problem, so start there.

If you're new to a particular camera, your first camera is worth a read too. Handling and size matter more than the newest model, so you can pick a sensible used body rather than chasing the latest release.
