refurbished vs. new digital camera: Don't they go through the same testing if it is factory refurbished?
171762
Some refurbuished products may have been repaired and some may just have been returned for no functional reason. There's no real way of knowing. But, in general, I'd say the extra warranty period is worth the small price difference. Now if the refurb cost 50% less, that might be a differnt story.

I have purchased a Sony Cyber-shot camera twice over the past 7 years or so, once for myself and I loved it and actually regretted selling it on ebay after deciding to purchase a large format digital camera. The Cyber-shot was so convenient to just drop in your pocket or handbag etc. The second time I purchased it was a bundled package for my son that included a memory card and a case as well. The megapixel was more by then and he loves his camera! Read the item descriptions close to determine if other items are included, and to determine if the camera is new not a refurbished camera, or other issues. Hope this helps some!

I don't think it was a refurbished product since those usually have some minor wear indications. The camera came in a sealed package with all accessories also individually sealed as brand new. There was a software CD included.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

I would shun that Nikon s3300 camera if I were you. It's the worst digital camera I ever owned, and any working digital camera from a flea market would be better, and much cheaper. I have never seen a Sony or a Fuji camera that did not deliver the goods, new or used. I believe Nikon had trouble with that model, and one only sees a few of them on the market anymore. Maybe their more current low end Nikon cameras are better. I sent my s3300 back to Nikon for repair, and it came back the same way, poor pictures, blurry, etc. I too am old, 78, and I've been using cameras all my life. Currently, I have a collection of old and new digital cameras of which I am knowledgeable. I've told it to you as it is. I would shun that Nikon s3300 camera if I were you.

The one I bought was new but many refurbished items have factory warranties. Check Carefully before you buy.

I hear you. I can think of several reasons to put off returning the camera. If it ain't broke... Also, as the recall picks up steam, the delay getting it back might increase. IMHO, just keep in mind the impression I get from reading the Nikon groups, and that is, it *will* fail, in fairly short order. Seems right to me, otherwise, Nikon would have dealt with this on a case-by-case basis rather than recalling *every* unit. So, my (unsolicited) advice would be (a) make sure you get this fixed before the warranty runs out; and (b) if you have a must-do situation (like professional gig or once-in-a-lifetime vacation) have a viable backup with you.

As others pointed out, this camera was refurbished by the manufacturer to restore it to new condition and provides a warranty with all accessories. These are things you look for when buying a refurbished product.

actually the box was open, everything was there, but the labels on the camera was missed. i thought that they sold me the refurbished one. i wrote them a complain, but they said that they got that camera from sony store and it was like that. so i couldn't find any defects in that camera and i decided to keep it. other stuff in the set was brand new.

They are 100% new if you pick the new one and not refurbished, they have both just pay attention to what you choose. It states new or refurbished if you look. Sony says 1 year warranty, have not used it so I cant tell you and I am nearly at the 1 year point now.

Since at this point in time these are used cameras, the package may contain some or all of the originally supplied accessories which were supplied when sold as a new unit. Each individual listing should specify this as well as condition. As for any warranty, that is at the option of the seller and will vary.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered. Regards

Also I bought the camera used. I have probably shot 20,000 pics with it because it is not my primary camera. No idea how many shots taken before or what maintenance may have been performed. It was previously used by a news outlet though. But I had the shutter replaced on my primary camera (also a 1D Mark IIN that I bought new in 2006) and it has worked perfectly since then.

The guarantee of a factory refurbished item is the same as a new item. There is no change in guarantees between a factory refurbished item and a new item.

I'd have to go look at the papers for the warranty information. The camera was brand new in box and all. This is an amazing camera package at an amazing deal and I love it.
