I'm thinking of buying a used camera online.

Which is better? KEH seems to have better deals and a wider selection. What do you think?

ive never tried getting one from KEH but have heard a lot of good things about them. but with adorama, i can guarantee that their condition rating is pretty conservative and theyre used or refurbished bodies are still in very excellent condition.

KEH is solid, you can buy from them, their used lens scale is fine but if they rate it "ulgy", it is UGLY.

Thanks. Is EX+ good? I heard somewhere that sometimes their bargains are like excellents and their excellents seem like new.

I've bought from both.

I got "Bargain" listed Nikon SB-24 flashes from KEH. They looked great, some scuffs on the outside, buttons worn a bit, but functionally perfect.

Got a "demo" 5D from Adorama. It was spotless. Shutter count was a bit higher than I'd expect for a demo, around 4500.

thanks. KEH seems a bit better than Adorama, so I'll probably buy from them.
