Greetings,

None. I've spent $$$$ in the Canon refurbished store.

Thank you for your input. I have been looking in the refurbished store daily. I would like to buy refurbished from Canon as opposed buying used from an individual.

Greetings,

This is advisable and I'm glad to hear it.  Canon refurbished gear comes with the same 1-year warranty as new.  Other reliable sources that have used departments are are B&H, Adorama, KEH and LensRentals.

Shadowsports,

Thank you for the other suggestions. Familiar with Adorama, but not the others. 

Shadowsports,

My wife bought me a Canon AE-1 for Christmas in 1977 from Adorama.

I would say that you should consider what vendor you are looking at.  The Canon Online Refurbished Store is the most reliable source, by far. They have full one year factory warranties on every product. 

Other vendors offer six months of repair services, or less, not factory warranties. I do NOT recommend buying from Amazon or any items described as”renewed”.

Waddizzle, 

Interesting comment about Amazon. I would not have considered that option. Thank you for the suggestion.

Major typo. I do not recommend Amazon.
