Thinking of buying a refurbished Nikon D7000. They are available from NikonUSA at significantly less than Adorama. Can anyone provide experience with used/refurbished equipment from either vendor? Or just general experience with any refurbished photo equipment?

Thanks and

I bought my 5DMKII refurbished from Canon on ebay. It's been fine, never had any problems with it.

Thanks. I haven't really seen many complaints about buying refurbished but still a little hesitant.

I've bought a lot of equipment from Adorama and B&H that is used. I've even returned equipment bought used from them (thought I bought a 2nd Generation lens when I had bought a 1st Generation lens). No problems at all....and they've even bought some used equipment from me that was in good shape. They inspect everything when they receive it.

Thanks. I have dealt with both of those sellers before and had no complaints. Good to know that others like them also. I've never dealt with NikonUSA but they have the best price on the refurb'ed d7000 by a couple of hundred dollars. Still haven't decided which way to go.

Another great resource for used equipment is http://www.keh.com
I've used them without problem to purchase cameras and lenses the gear has always been as advertised.
I know several pros who use them regularly.
Very reliable company.

I have been burned one to many times on Ebay but hav used KEH many times successfully, especially with hard to find stuff. I have never been unhappy with KEH.
