Not brought a SLR, but brought a fuji a while back, probably 5 years.... its still runnign fine, had a little surface mark, but to be honest most of them should be as good as new, but used. If you are after a refurd, id make sure its a canon refurb, im sure they used to sell them on Canon Uk shop

I've bought non-refurbished SLRs from ebay. First from a private seller and then my 1d from a trader. Neither were as new but i paid nowhere near new prices for either.
