hjoseph7 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Does a certified refurbished camera include a refurbished shutter count ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I would assume only if the shutter has been replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Naka Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I highly doubt it, so do not assume that. As Dieter said, if it came in as a return and the shutter was the problem, then the shutter mechanism may be replaced. In other businesses, a refurb is check and adjust the gear is operating to spec, and IF necessary repair. Replacing of major modules is not generally part of a refurb, unless it is a recall or similar item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_stephan2 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My 70D is a refurbished camera that I purchased from Canon about a 18 months ago. It had something like 400 shutter actuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonberry Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It sounds like anyone wants to buy it, used it for an event, and then returned it..... then you bought it. I'de return it for another one or at least negotiate a bigger discount. Canon Printer Error Code 5b00, Sometimes This error occurs at the time of Processing.

Mark Keefer Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't worry, I have owned two refurbished cameras and they were great, no issues. The only difference I could tell was I saved a few hundred dollars. Many times these are almost new cameras that someone returned because there was something about that model they didn't like. Maybe it didn't meet the original buyers expectations. Maybe they decided to get a higher end model, instead of the 6D they went for the 5D MK ** or the 7D MK **. The camera goes back to Canon repair and a tech carefully goes over the camera and tests the camera to insure it meets specs and gets a new part and repaired if needed. You still get a one year warranty on the same camera that Canon says is as good as new and they stand behind that as if it was a new camera. If you are on a budget or just don't see the point in throwing away money don't fear you are getting an inferior product. Look at it like the new car that drives off the lot and loses 20% of the purchase price just because it is now not brand new never owned by a consumer. Just go for it, the refurbished camera doesn't have cooties, at least we hope not. ;) Edited August 10, 2018 by Mark Keefer Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitmstr Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 it doesn't but it DOES include full warranty as a NEW product. I bought many items (bodies and L lenses) from Canon refurb and never had a problem. Well worth it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
