They say evil prevails when good people fail to act. What they should say is: evil prevails.
There are several suppliers who regularly advertise in the back pages of AP. Most of them offer some sort of guarantee. Also, if you have a branch of London Camera Exchange, or other real camera shop (not J*ssops) nearby, they might be worth a look.
On Ebay the Canon Outlet sells "refurbished" cameras with a 12 month guarantee. FFordes are a long established store with a good reputation and they are starting to deal in second hand DSLRs, their web site may be worth a look.
Buying privately I would like to see and try the camera before parting with the cash.
I have bought a number of film cameras and old lenses from private individuals via Ebay and have had a reasonable level of success, but a nearly new DSLR would involve rather more money and hence be more of a risk. Not sure that I would do that.
Aperture seem very good. Website is aperture.co.uk I think and the shop is near the British Musuem, London.
