I was wondering if anyone has experience or insight with respect to these 2 evidently different "refurbished" canon types of products. From what I can tell there are "factory refurbished" and there are "refurbished by Canon USA" products available. The "factory" refurbs seem to qualify for an actual Canon 90-day warranty, yet the "USA" refurbs only get store warranty?
Are both types of refurbs made to similar specification? Do both types get packaged and sold in the "white" refurbished boxes? There doesn't seem to be anything on the Canon website about refurbs, or even who are "authorized sellers" of refurbs would be. Do "refurbished" bodies have their own Canon SKU numbers that we can search by if comparison shopping?
Also would be interested if anyone knows the 'typical' chain of custody for a camera to get into a 'refurbished' box (factory and/or Canon USA) and sold as such?
