Things To Know About Canon Refurbished Cameras

By Joanne Hendricks


Refabs have been said to be just as good as new. Although their quality actually compares with the new ones, refab items are cheaper with price-cuts amounting to several dollars. For this reason, most customers now prefer buying refurbished items because of their fair prices and their quality which is nearly compares to the new products. Usually, most of these refurbished items are retail returns. A practical example is Canon refurbished cameras.

In the case of this company, the returned products with problems such as damaged packages or minor cosmetic issues are sent to the recycling plant for repair. However, Canon will not simply repair defective cameras and sell them as new. For his reason, the cameras are sold as refabs even though the devices are in as good working conditions as the new ones.

Definitely, as a customer, you may not be willing to buy cameras with bent boxes. This implies that both a refab and a new camera is in perfect working order except for a few issues with the refabs ones. However, no matter how the working condition a refab camera may be, they are not considered new and customers will get a price-cut on them most of the time.

Once cameras are returned to the company, they are serviced with standards which are more stringent than those used in manufacturing new products. Each piece of equipment in Canon refurbished cameras is tested in a rigorous manner and the adjustments are made as required. Depending on the cost of the camera, more repairs will be involved to ensure that the product passes the quality control requirements.

At the official eStore run by the company, you will find a variety of refab models but you should be sure to read the terms and conditions of the product. This is because you may find differing warranties on refab products which might be shorter compared to new products. However, the reduced warranties also affect the final price of the refab product which makes them even more competitive in the market.

Be sure to note a stamp with refurbished scarlet letter on all refab devices. The packaging of these devices might not be similar though. However, everything is carefully packaged and each camera comes with new software CD, user manuals and cables.

Try to inspect the body of the camera and you will be surprised to see a truly brand new product which has not been tampered with. You will also realize that the menus are set to default and the firmware upgraded. You will definitely like these products regardless of the fact that they are technically old redone devices. Canon refurbished cameras prices are greatly reduced by several dollars from the actual cost of the new ones.
