If you decide to go the second hand route, but don't have a local specialty store, B&H Photo sells used equipment, and ranks them so that the buyer has some idea of what may be/go wrong with them.

Also, if you are leaning towards something on the mid- to high-end of the spectrum, you may want to rent what you think would be you preferred camera and shoot with it for a few days before making a decision. There are a few internet companies that rent some of the higher-end cameras.
