Maybe. The thing is that most Canon refurbs have barely any shutter count. These bodies might end up with 50,000, 100,000 or more actuations. (I'm basing that estimate on my own usage pattern, where I often shoot 3,000 or more frames in a single basketball, volleyball or soccer game). Of course, it would be a simple matter for Canon to replace the shutter before selling them. No rush, since they won't be selling any refurbs for two years or so. On the other hand, I don't know if Canon offers to sell the bodies to the photographers or agencies at a deep discount after the games are over.
