Hello, my 20d is starting to get a lot of errors when i try to use the pop flash, so I think it is time to think about the loyalty program, and I would like to hear from people that have done this on how their experiences have been. Have any of you had to return the refurbs? How long have you had them? cosmetically are they in good shape? thanks everybody!

I've had mine for a couple months now -- zero complaints. Got a 50D to replace my XT. The camera I got was indistinguishable from a new camera except that the manuals, etc. were packaged differently. The folks were very friendly and helpful, I got the camera quickly, and they made it easy to return my XT.

The 50D is my first DSLR, but I have not found any reasons to complain about it. It does the job I want to do, and does it very well I think.

Got a 50D to replace my 30D about a month ago. No complaints, everything looks like new except for the white box it came in. Shutter count on the camera was not quite 600.

Great program.

I just today received my 50D from the canon loyalty program. I turned in my 30D. I have to tell you that if you go ahead and and decide to go with the program you should have no worries as mine showed up like new condition. I couldn't be happier!:D All my best to you in whatever you decide.

Aside from packaging, Canon refurbs are indistinguishable from new.

I've had mine for 2 months. I could not distinguish it from a new camera. Ran a shutter count program on it and found just under 500 actuations.

Except they may have some 'under the hood' usage on them.
