REfurbs

Is it worth buying a refurb camera for a place like Adorama or Broadway Photo?

Thanks.

If the price is right, I don't see why not. I just bought what I thought was a used 20D from B&H for $700. Turns out it was a factory refurb. Camera is new. Only 90 day warranty, but I figure that with most electronics if they work straight out of the box, chances are you won't have any problems down the road.

I bought a referb 20d from Adorama last june, it came in great condition(though who ever owned it before was a smoker). I think it may have had a 90 day warranty, but when the shutter died las month(I put about 70K shots on it) Canon took it and replaced the shutter for free.

i bought my xt refurbed from adorama, no problems whatsoever.

yes to Adorama and BH, but not Broadway Photo, not even for a new camera. They are scams, http://www.resellerrat​ings.com/store/Broadwa​y_Photo.

Could not agree more. Offers a refurb unit for a cheap price and when you try to buy it, then claims that the instructions for that model is in Japanese. Offers a more expensive refurb unit instead.
Bought from Adorama instead.

Bought my 1DMkII from Adorama. It just celebrated its second birthday and has right at 250K frames on it. I would buy one again in a heartbeat.

I would do it again.

My first 1D had a banding problem, but I sent it back, full refund, no worries.

But I have an Epson P2200 that is flawless.
