I'm set on getting a Casio EXILIM EX-Z60 for my woman. It's a nice point and shoot camera. I've got the chance to play with this camera several times and it will fit her perfectly. I missed the awsome deal that Circut City had for this camera, so now I'm looking on eBay. There is one camera that I can get on eBay that is factory refurbished, plus it has a 1 GB mamory card, a case, a tripod, and an extra lithium battery for about $20 more than if I buy this same camera (just the camera, nothing else) NEW at another website. What do you guys think, refurbished with some extra goodies or just get a new one and add the goodies at a higher price?

Factory re-furbs are built better then new ones, just have not as new looking cases. IMO

The refurbished one comes with a Casio 3 month waranty. So, the refurbished one is a good deal? Sonic, you have a link for that place?

EDIT: Found the Abe's Of Maine site. They have Casio camera's but not the one I want to get. Thanks though.

$170 + $15 shipping for the brand new camera. $195 + $20 shipping for the refurbished camera with all the goodies.

It might be a good deal if you want to save some money on the accessories. Just as long as you are ok with the body being a little dinged or scratched other than that good luck with it. If you are open to buy used check out keh.com. They have an excellent selection of used items.
