Don't forget E-bay is great source too. I purchased my first equipmentthere from a store named Cameta. It's recognized & reputable. Good deals. Personally my experience was good. Bought a new d50, which came with lens, card & bag for aprox $500. Good luck!
I highly recommend Cameta Cameras, but I would be wary of individual sellers on eBay, there are just too many potential pitfalls.
