Word of caution...

If you are buying used camera equipment, be sure to check it out completely before you hand over the money. I bought a second Canon 1D MKIV several months ago, the body was in great shape with low shutter count. I shot some pics and they looked fine on the display, but once I got to using it I found that some of the pics had lines across the photos. It's now at Canon pro services and they say that the sensor is bad. It is going to cost 1500.00 to replace it. Just be aware that just because it looks good, sounds good, doesn't make it good. I paid good money for this body, it was not a bargain basement deal.
I have another MKIV that has twice as many clicks that runs great, so low clicks doesn't mean anything.

That's great feedback. I suppose if you really want to be safe, take your laptop with you when you meet the seller and download the photos from the memory stick and do a little pixel peeping to make sure it's all good.
