Looking to sell my Sony RX100 and replace it with a Canon G1X MarkII. the Sony take nice enough pictures but its just too small. Had a Canon G9 prior to the Sony and loved using it and the pictures.

Looking for any thoughts or feedback on buying a factory reconditioned unit, looks like brand new in the box, full warranty for $549.00, no tax. I'm pretty sure this is a good price but wondered is anyone else might have bout reconditioned or have some feedback.

When you buy a refurb from Canon, Canon refurbished it and Canon gives the warranty.

If you're not buying it from Canon, then who refurbished it and who is giving the warranty? Maybe it's a good deal, maybe not.

Yes I am suspicious, claim is it was bought from Canon as refurbished and never used or opened except to take a picture for the sale posting. Since its return/refundable I'm going to grab it and see if there are any issues registering it as new/refurbished with Canon.  If so its going back, if all is ok then ai found a good deal!
