joke
Is there any site other than ebay or amazon that sells refurbished digital camera?? Or does any of the companies for example cannon sell refurbished cameras? im not concerned about the brand
Answer
Well actually you should be concerned about the brand. Canon and Nikon are the world leaders in digital technology for good reasons as is Fuji.
Refurb equipment can be tempting because of the price but you shouldn't base any decision on these expensive devices based on price - not smart.
All that said if you do decide to buy refurb make sure, first, that the refurb work was done by the original manufacturer, not some fly by night third party who only wants your credit card number.
If you can, buy refurb from a store that sells these items. Shoot with it, look at the product, handle it and get a general feel for it's overall quality and workmanship.
Third, here's a site I do business with often that does have some refurb and used equipment. These folks are honest as the day is long and will never try to upsell or pressure you into something you don't want.
Besides that, they're prices are fair.

repair my digital canon camera?
elisabeths
I have a digital canon eos 400D rebel xti camera that won't turn on. Apparently it is still worth the $700 I paid for it (some places $900). Canon will repair it for $210 or replace it with a refurbished one. Should I send it to the manufacturer or to another repair service? I don't know anything about camera repair and I don't want to get the run around. Does anyone knowledgeable about camera repair have advice for me? Thanks.
Answer
Well I've never needed repair for any of my cameras but, knowing the reputation that Canon has around the world for excellent, top grade equipment, I'd have to believe that they would do a first rate job with repair.
However, refurbished equipment coming directly from the manufacturer is, for the most part, as good as new. In this case refurbished doesn't mean repaired. It can mean it was a display model that didn't sell. It could be a return. It could be a shelf model that didn't sell and wasn't even opened. There's several ways a camera can become "refurbished".
The choice is yours. To my thinking if its a choice between spending the $210 and getting a refurbished for nothing (or is it nothing?), I go for the refurbished model.
