Does anyone here have any knowledge, memory or experience with on the average just how long it usually takes for a Canon DSLR body to start showing up on the Canon Store refurbished list?

The only one that isn't already there is the 7D Mark II...is that what you are thinking of?

I can't be the only one ;) I figure it'll be at least 6 months.

It might be listed there in 6 months, but the real question is how long until it is actually available as a refurb at a better price than the biggest online retailers are giving for new. I think the 5DIII and the 6D took closer to a year.

Besides, it seems like everybody is loving the 7DII, so I doubt there will be many returns that can be used as refurb stock.
