KJawa,

First off, welcome to the forums. I wanted to point out a quick difference between used and refurbished. Used cameras were, well, used. Then sold back to someone, who, if good (like Canon/Adorama/BH) inspected it, rated it and is reselling it. Refurbished cameras were sold and then returned. If there was a problem, it was likely repaired, then inspected. I've seen several people that prefer refurbished to new for the simple reason that they are basically new cameras/lenses (hardly any use) that have been inspected and corrected by trained professionals.

I'd look for the best deal you can get from Canon, Adorama or B&H. Unless someone has a specific experience, I have only heard good things about each.
