I am seriously considering it now...does it come with the box/bag/and such? Refurbs come in white boxes straight from canon specifically for refurbs. They contain all lens caps, hoods, bags, manuals that you get when buying new. They do show some signs of mild wear and have a rear dot on the rear of the lens mount marking it as refurbished. Definitely worth getting but i don't know about the current prices. 7D | 500D | 350D || 11-16mm 2.8 | 15-85mm IS | 17-55mm 2.8 IS | 24-70mm 2.8L | 24-105mm 4L IS | 70-200mm 2.8L | 70-200mm 4L IS | 30mm 1.4 | 50mm 1.4 | 85mm 1.8 | 135mm 2L || 18-55mm | 18-55mm IS | 100-300mm | 50mm 1.4 nikkor | 50mm 2.5 || 580EX II | 430EX II x2

Mark_48 Goldmember  2,068 posts Joined Nov 2004 Location: Brookfield, MA More info | I've bought several refurbs from Adorama and been happy with them. The ones I got looked like new. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.
