$679 refurb kit - T3i with 18-55. But find and use a 15% off coupon code!

I paid $617 total, with $34 tax & $5 shipping, so $558 net for the kit - less than body costs new. The kit is normally $180 more than the body.

I would advise to not get the kit lens. I got the 450D with kit lens and was fed up by the bad quality after about a month and got a better quality lens. The difference of the lens can't really be underestimated. The body is fairly secondary.

On this type of camera it is about $100 per year.

Cheers! Good luck!

I jumped into the DSLR pool with the Canon XS (18-55mm IS) and the 75-300mm. I sold the 75-300 and upgraded to the 55-250, then I sold the XS and kit lens and I actually made $7.12 for owning and using it for 2 years. I did keep very good care of it though.

I'm going to guess that I won't have quite the same success when I upgrade from my 60D and my current 24-105mm F/4 L. But that's a bridge I'll cross when I get there.

I use all L quality lenses. I did not buy the kit lens to use.

But the usual differential on the T3i with kit lens is $180. On the refurb, the kit lens was only about $60 net cost. So I figured it would enhance the value of the camera at sale.

Really nice camera by the way! I am having fun with the video. Beautiful quality for a $600 body!

Have fun all!
