Sometimes – only sometimes – factory refurbished gear is a good buy.
Looks like this Canon Sale on Refurbished units is of those times. (Click here!)
One of my personal favorites, the baby SL1, is on sale for $449 INCLUDING their latest 18-55mm IS STM lens. Don’t want the lens because you already have it or a substitute, and just want a second or third body? No worries: $359 for the body alone.
I’ve never seen such great prices for this gear. And with a one-year Canon factory warranty, I don’t see how you can go wrong.
If you prefer the T5i with its swivel LCD and slightly larger form factor, you can have that too, with the same lens for $50 more. Don’t want the lens? $419.99.
Really, that’s pretty incredible.
Want even cheaper and almost as good? Try the T3i with the last generation EF-S 18-55 IS II lens for $335.99 – or even cheaper still (this is wild, really), the T3 with same lens for $251.99, all with Canon guarantee.
Most cameras these days last pretty much forever, except under truly extreme circumstance.
So: have a party, invite your friends!
