Adorama "Open Box"?

[mark_stephan2]

<p>Do any of you have experience with Adorama's open box cameras? I want to buy a 6D and retire my 5D. Does it include every item that was included in an unopened box? For warranty purposes does Canon consider this to be a new camera with full warranty?</p>

<p>I'm guessing it is this one? http://www.adorama.com/ica6dob.html<br>

If so, it includes the following:</p>

 

<h6 >What's in the box:</h6>

 

<ul>

<li>Canon EOS 6D Body "Open Box"</li>

<li>Eyecup Eb</li>

<li>Battery Pack LP-E6</li>

<li>Battery Charger LC-E6</li>

<li>R-F-3 Camera Cover</li>

<li>Stereo AV Cable AVC-DC400ST</li>

<li>Wide Neck Strap EW-EOS 6D</li>

<li>USB Interface Cable IFC-200U</li>

<li>EOS Digital Solution Disk & Software Instruction Manual CD</li>

<li>Camera Instruction Manual</li>

<li>Canon 1 Year Warranty</li>

</ul>

Not the least of the benefits of this site.<br>

Now as to the problems? Perhaps another time ;)</p>

<p>Helen,<br>

Does the camera include the Canon warranty, or an Adorama warranty. I've seen open box cameras at some of your competitors that list a store warranty, which I assume is in place of the manufacturers warranty, when the camera is an "open box".<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>It is a Canon warranty, Tim</p>

<p>Tim, FWIW, in my experience "store warranty" is usually synonymous with "gray market" whether the item is open box or new.</p>

<p>Thanks Helen for responding to my question. I ordered the open box 6D and should have it in a few days, can't wait. One last question. Does the camera come with a clean sensor?</p>

[helen_oster]

<p>Hi Mark</p>

<p>The sensor should be as clean as any new camera!</p>

<p>There is the story that the value of a car drops by 15% or so as soon as you drive it off the lot. </p>

<p>I suspect that this is similar. Just opening the box, not even taking the camera out, and the price drops. </p>

<p>As far as I know, if something hasn't been previously sold, then the original warranty still applies. <br>

But it is always good to ask.</p>
