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.

Congratulations on the new purchase....I'm very sure you will be very happy with the G5X....!!!
