Other good sites include London Camera Exchange - they have a website that shows what stock is in their branches all over the country and Mifsuds who stock a good range of used gear. Also Cameraworld are a good independent store in Chelmsford and London that I often used and they sell used gear via their website.

If you want something really versatile pick yourself up a second hand Canon like the 1100D or a 350D which is a great little camera. Get a body only and buy yourself a second hand Canon or Sigma 18 - 200mm lens. They are lightweight but cover most of the range you will ever need. Great for holidays. I use mine when I can't be bothered to lug the L series pro lenses about in my bag.
