Factory refurbished, your experiences and...

....opinions please.

So, even used, buying the camera that "I should have had" for the last 6 years (a 7D) would be a big chunk of change, for my poor self

However, "even if" I came up with a quick, easy $1600, I'd be hard-pressed to spend it on a camera that has been out for 6 yrs, and will likely be replaced this year (if ever).

Then I found several factory refurbished 7D's with factory warranty, in the $900-975 price range....

I'd still need a few little peripherals such as a battery grip, extra batts, hand strap, etc.... but I'm thinking $1200 grand total.

Already have my 400 F5.6 (my baby) to slap straight on it

My thinking is, I know the 7D is a fine camera, and even if they came out with the 7D MkII the very next day, I'd still have a fine camera, which I got a great deal on, and the perfect back up camera, if I ever did get the MkII.

As it is, I would not even want to use my old T1i as a back up....

Your thoughts ?

Thank you,

Fish
