I would like your opinions on the topic of purchasing brand new or refurbished cameras. I am looking into purchasing a Canon Rebel t1i (fits my budget & needs well), and Adorama.com offers two almost identical kit/packages, but a big difference in price: $509 for kit with refurbished, $605 for kit with brand new t1i. I would love to save the extra $100 if possible, but I don't want to "cut-corners" persay, and end up with something that doesn't last me for quite a few years.
So, question time!
Is it smart/safe to buy refurbished? Would I even notice a difference between brand new and refurbished? What have been your experiences with refurbished cameras/lenses? (pro's/con's, positives/negatives, etc.) Details are appreciated!
Any and all input would be fantastic!
