Good buy Powershot SX-60 refurb.

I'm new here - I use Nikon p900 which I'm very happy with for birds and wildlife. I dropped it lens down on concrete and cracked the lens at the bottom inside - doesn't seem to have impacted the photos oddly enough.

Anyway, I wanted a bit smaller back-up in case p900 gives me trouble. I wanted a refurbished SX-50. There are just none availble - maybe because of SX-70 coming out. Also no p900 refurbished to be found.

I phoned Canon today thinking maybe some refurb. SX50 in inventory, but not on website. No SX50's but advised a sale today and good deal on a refurb. SX60. I purchased one - total $259 - included my state's sales tax, free shipping, and one yr. warranty.

I thought it was a good value and thought I would pass it on.  It was supposed to be a deal to "trade up" if you had another Canon camera.  I told the guy I had an Elph that I gave away - he said fine, no problem.

I didn't want to spend a lot - just a backup camera, and something bit smaller to grab for going on the door with decent zoom for birds/nature.
