I purchased this as a gift for my fiance who wanted to start taking up photography. I was nervous about buying refurbished but figured I'd take the chance. Camera works perfect so far and looks brand new. My only complaint is that it didn't come with the lens cap tether and I am unable to find one online without buying another lens cap. Otherwise everything is great and she LOVES it!

I bought this camera for my little sister as a birthday gift, but used it myself when I took a trip to Miami. This camera is so awesome!!!! Amazing picture quality. Pretty good in low light. Impeccable zoom. Fast focus. Can take remote images with my phone. Video quality is great! I've never had a digital camera before this, so I can't compare it to much, but it was wonderful to use! I'm gonna buy another one for myself soon. My little sister loves it!

Unwilling to carry a full DSLR but wanting more than a point and click or phone for a road trip to Spain and Portugal, I bought a refurbished B500 and I couldn't be happier. At under $300 (now closer to $200) this delight gave me great flexibility without the concern of carrying additional lenses or the worry of losing a $2000 camera to thieves. Image quality was good under a variety of conditions. Video is acceptable but not great. It doesn't have an external audio jack for a discrete microphone which would make this nearly perfect. It uses AA batteries, which is a plus for traveling but it's a thirsty little beast (even with WiFi turned off) so pack a box of batteries and plan to refuel frequently. I think I used 5 sets in 18 days. It's heavy enough to recommend using a crossbody sling, which I prefer to a neck strap, making it more comfortable to carry and readily at hand for quick shots.

Great purchase - great condition. Would reccommend for any photography enthusiast.

This is a simple camera to set up and use. It is a great entry level DSLR with a great telephoto kit lens. The photos are crisp and clear. There is no vignetting to any appreciable degree. Overall, I'm very pleased with this camera.
