"pre-owned" is the same as "used", but they say that it is "certified" which means that someone at least checked it out and verified it to make sure it functions. I have been totally pleased with the one that I bought.

It's like a certified pre owned car.it has a few mIles but has all new tires and any other warn parts replaced and is a better price

not sure if there is a difference between "per-owned" and "refurbished" but the device I received came in excellent "like new" condition and is working just fine

My understanding is that a certified pre-owned unit is one that was returned for some reason. It has been checked and certified by the seller as operational and (hopefully) without defects. If there are any defects like (once again hopefully) minor wear and tear then that should be stated in the description.

The same thing as refurbished. Probably a broken return that had parts replaced.

Ash and Mark are exactly right and I'd assume that refurbished one is exactly the same, but I'd do a chat with Amazon before buying it to make sure. I love mine!

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.

There is a big difference from used and reburbised, Reburbished is the best. Refurbished means someone has taken the time to check all of the computer hardware out and replace or upgrade anything needed and it normal comes with some type of warranty, used means here it is and hope it keeps working with no warranty, and normally nothing has been checked by a comptuer tech.

New, but I have bought refurbished items from Amazon and they do a fantastic job, and they work great!

Hello. Refurbished simply means that it was returned to the manufacturer and rechecked for any problems. Refurbished is not necessarily a bad thing as it has been checked over twice to ensure that its functioning properly. Sometimes electronics are returned to the manufacturer whne actually it is user error and not really a problem with the device. if manufacturer does find a problem such as a loose connection inside the device, they repair it back to new standards... I have purchased many refurbished computers and have not had any problems with them... Hope this helps....

I believe a used item is secondhand sold as is, while a refurbished item may have been used or returned unused, but restored and/or repaired to new condition, and may or may not come with a warranty

The one I received IS a REFURBISHED unit. On the headband in the middle it's clearly printed "REFURB-W".

According to the description it is refurbished. I don' t know whether it is in the original box.

Mine looks like new. I had forgoten that I had bought a refurbished one until Amazon asked me to answer this question.

The one I got my wife was new. If it's refurbished item I think the description should say that. For what it's worth the camera we got is great.

New means unused by anyone. Fresh from the factory. Refurbished means its been returned to the distributor or manufacturer to be cleaned up and reset to factory specs. I've purchased refurbished equipment and it is usually indistinguishable from new, unused. This phone was abused with permanent marks on the case, but functions fine.

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.
