Welcoming the new year with a Canon 7DMark2 - The Pixels in Pete's World

The front of my ‘new’ 7D Mark II. It’s pristine and looks brand new even though it’s refurbished. Comes with the same 1-year warranty from Canon

My last camera body purchase, a refurbished Canon 5DMarkII, was almost 6 years ago.

Since then, my eyes aren’t what they used to be but more importantly technology has improved by leaps and bounds, so it made sense that I not fight it.

Just like the last time, I bought myself a refurbished Canon 7D Mark II.

The rear of the camera shows exactly no scratches just like the front or the bottom.

That camera body listed as new is $1499.[prosperInsert q=”canon 7d mark 2″ gtm=”merchant” b=”Canon,” mid=”124179,” v=”grid” id=”Canon_EOS_7D_Mark_II_DSLR_Camera__Body_Only_~” ft=”fetchProducts” imgt=”original” fb=”Canon_EOS_7D_Mark_II_DSLR_Camera__Body_Only_query_canon 7d mark 2_filterBrand_Canon|_~”][/prosperInsert]

I paid $1230 shipped.

Like the new camera body, my refurbished 7D Mark II comes with Canon’s 1-year warranty.

The brown cardboard box that it came in is actually very nondescript.

So nondescript, I actually thought they had shipped me a wrong camera.

I actually bought an App that lets me check on the number of shutter actuations just to make sure my 7DMark II was ‘new’.
