Get it,

All refurbished means it something was wrong with it and it was returned to be fixed!.

I actually prefer the discount that comes with the purchase, think about it when they are making the repair, you know they are really giving it a close look, they don't want to get it back again!.

Now go get it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Refurbished generally means there was something that might have been wrong with the camera, but it has been fixed!. They can't sell it as new because of this, but refurbished is generally as good as buying a new one, and could even be better if this was something that had gone wrong on several cameras (say a part that the entire batch was bad), so it's been fixed now with a better part!. Adorama also is one of the camera stores that has an excellent reputation, so I would say go for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you take a look at these links, you will be able to pick up a pro!. view on buying refurbished!.

Refurbs can provide excellent value for money!. It won't necessarily have had anything wrong with it; big stores and companies such as Canon and Nikon loan equipment out to staff for demo purposes etc!.

When they go back, each one is inspected carefully by hand; compare that to the production line process, where only random samplings are taken, and you will understand that a refurb can provide a more reliable piece of equipment - with a substantial saving over purchasing new!.

Adorama is a reliable vendor!. Their customer service is excellent, and if you have a problem they are very responsive!.

A 90-day warranty certainly should show up any problems that may have been missed during the refurb!.
