Re: Refurb, or New??

I have a malfunctioning G15 which served me well for many years. It was my go to camera for hikes, off-roading, etc. On a hike it began showing its last days. The rear multifunction section wasn't working nor the zoom, then the autofocus crapped out. I went to a Canon service center and was quoted $200 for a warrantied repair. That money would be better put towards a new camera. The rep gave me a card with the information for the refurb loyalty program.

I called that day and was quoted ~$340US for a refurbed G5X shipped. Thought about it one day and made the order the next day. So far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
