We've been using flickr, setting the advanced search to only include creative commons that accepts use for commercial use. Not really sure about the credit though - wether you need to give it and how to.

We've always used http://www.morguefile.com/ and http://www.sxc.hu/ for freebies. Not always the greatest selections but you can't really argue when it's free.

search.creativecommons.org/ can be useful.  It's just a front end for some of the common CC repositories. It usually ends up finding CC stuff on flick or via google images

Since nobody mentioned it, there's also veer.com - technically not free either but I've been stealing low-res files off there for ages

for some types of images, ebay and craigslist can turn up a lot of "nobody is going to care about copyright" images.
