I honestly think Ebay is your best bet. I've bought far too many cameras off Ebay and have only been unlucky once or perhaps twice. I recently bought an all singing all dancing Sankyo XLS620 for 9 euro. When it arrived I was amazed to find that it was in perfect condition. I have also bought several Elmo cameras off Ebay and again been very fortunate.
If you want to check some cameras over before you buy then there are several shops in and around London but you pay a premium, my favoutite cine stockists are 'Photographica' in Arundel, West Sussex and 'The Hailsham Camera Centre' in Hailsham, East Sussex, both offer expert service at a price far less than the London shops.
You should also check out the conventions, I often see decent super and 16mm cameras for sale at the BFCC, in fact I will have some my self up for sale at the May convention on the stall I am hoping to share with the Lightwater bunch!
If you really are wanting top stuff and have the money to spend, then check out the 'Wide Screen Centre' or 'Lees', they'll be happy to take all the money you can throw at them , but you will get a nice camera and with back up too.
Happy hunting
Mike
