"Canon EOS-30D Digital SLR Camera Body Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A."
649.95$
from Adorama.

http://www.adorama.com …fo=canon%2030d&​item_no=15 (external link)

I am new in camera and also have many questions?

1.Can I trust this site?
2.What is the warranty comes with the camera and How can I buy a additional warranty?
3.Is a Canon warranty or just an Adorama warranty?
4.This is and international warranty or not, coz I will come back to Thailand soon.
5.Is the cheapest refurbished 30d that I can buy right now or not?

So many questions, but I really want to know before buying.
Thank you every one in advance

from what i have read. yes
2.What is the warranty comes with the camera and How can I buy a additional warranty?
check website and call them to ask if possible
3.Is a Canon warranty or just an Adorama warranty?
cannon should offer warrenty for a certain amount of time. if additional warrenty is bought, it might be third party.
4.This is and international warranty or not, coz I will come back to Thailand soon.
usually it doesn't warrant international unless u send the camera to US and have someone do the warrenty for you and send it back to you.
5.Is the cheapest refurbished 30d that I can buy right now or not?
keep checking pricegrabber and slickdeals for best deals.

Canon refurb items do not carry canon warranty. The listed warranty is from adorama.

They are a very reputable camera store.

I think on this item it is 90days. You can buy an extended warranty from them.

My refurbished 24-105L is "Out for delivery".
Can't wait. If it performs well, it will be a steal at $899.



6D, 60D, Various L and non-L Lenses and more gear than I have time to use. ;)
