>>126495 If you have the money to get a new camera (DSLR) get it at somewhere like Henry's with the extra warranty plan on it, it never hurts. My friend had went out and bought a Sony Alpha with the extra warranty right when they came out, boy did that pay off, the focus locked after original warranty expired, but with the extra, Sony still replaced it immediately.
If you know what camera you want, call around to various places, ask if they have it in stock, price check, price match, wait for sales, etc and then ask around at the bigger stores to see what sort of warranty plans they have on them (I don't think merkles, aden or vistek offer extra warranty plans, but they do have better prices).
Buying refurbished is fine IF you know what you're looking for and don't mind a camera that's been around the block. Check how many shots have been taken on the camera before you have bought it (again, know what you want to buy first!) and if they are over the usual limit of the cameras life span (example: canon d20 usually only lasts 50,000 actuations (though mine just made it back to zero, AGAIN and is still fine)) don't bother. It's safe to buy refurbished and if the shutter quits it's not to expensive to fix.
TL;DR: DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH, find the best camera to suit your needs and then look around.
>>126480 Hell motherfucking yes it is the point, but would you really want to buy a cannon camera instead of a canon? Or a sonry? pentox? nikan?
