http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T2i-Digital-SLR-Camera-Body-EF-18-55mm-Lens-USA-/140675238623?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item20c0e5cadf#shId

Hi, i was supposed to buy a t2i from a guy on NS but he backed out so.. i'm looking to buy it really soon! Like tonight or tomorrow !

and i found this offer but i need to know if it's a good deal because i can't find anything better except some offer from; Taiwan, China, Japan, etc.

It come with the kit lens and 1 year waranty by the dealer + they are top-rated seller on ebay..

The only problem is that it's a ''Factory Demo'' and it is manufacturer refurbished ! :/

Is it a good offer or no?

Thanks and k+ for help or better deal!!

most likely it was a demo camera on the floor of a store. and they pulled it off the floor cause someone might have messed it up. then sent it back to canon and they refurbed it all to perfect and are now selling it. It might have a minor scuff or two but performance should be fine and I highly doubt the scuff would be anything even noticeable.

get it. you won't be sorry.

just get it refurb perfectly through canon from the loyalty program for $475 that's what I did. Works perfectly and all I had to give em was a shitty broken point and shoot from like 2004. You give them a broken or non broken ( you don't even need to send it cause i forgot to and still haven't and they haven't even called or anything) old camera and they give you a nice % discount off the refurb price! yayyyy:D

just bought a used cam off ebay, and everything is legit and works fine. looks/works totally brand new. just be cautious about it, get a warranty (i see you are going to) and check out buyer feedback (which i see is good).

GO FOR IT!

why would you do that if it's less from canon and more relaible and possibly better refurbed?

yeah and what ive read on internet seems like the canadian deal is not great as the U.S deal.. you have 20% with free shipping + the camera are lower price .. and we get 15% + shipping and the camera cost higher !
