  1. “Refurbished” photography equipment is an important distinction when compared to “used.” Typically, the original manufacturer does the refurbishing, which means the people who know the equipment best are making any fixes or replacing any parts. “Used” typically refers to buying equipment in “as is” condition, without a thorough inspection, cleaning or any repairs from a “certified” or expert technician.

  1. Buying refurbished digital photography equipment saves you money. If you’re not ready to make a long-term commitment to photography, then refurbished equipment requires less of an investment. Plus, when the original manufacturer has refurbished the equipment, it retains more value for resale.

Refurbished equipment is also great option for photography students who need it as a learning tool, but can’t afford to buy a new DSLR camera and lenses. Many semi-pros and even pros purchase refurbished digital photography equipment as secondary or backup units.

  1. Buying refurbished equipment may allow you to advance your photography skills and experience quicker. You may be truly serious about photography, but have done all you can with your compact camera. The cost of a new DSLR and lenses is an obstacle to moving forward on your learning curve, however. With a refurbished DSLR and/or lenses, you’ll have all their features and capabilities (and challenges) for much less cost and without any interruptions in your education.

  1. Refurbished digital photography equipment from a reputable dealer will include an excellent warranty. That’s one of the reasons KEH is the world’s largest used camera dealer.
