One lens and one point and shoot digital camera. The lens was the EF 50mm f1.4 USM, it broke after a week or so last year or the year before. I chose not to return it and fixed it myself -really fun taking those things apart. The camera body was an A60 that was d.o.a.-last week-sent it back for repair/replacement. I don't think I'll be buying another item from Canon that's refurbished.

Canon refurbs are OK, simply new items that had a fault and were returned. Canon service repaired the problem and now they are back on the market at a lower price. Been using a refurb lens for 4 years without problems, and used refurb gear at Indy 500 without problems.
