Consider a reconditioned (refurbished) camera with a warranty if you are trying to get decent equipment at a savings. Often, "refurbs" are just returned merchandise that can't be sold as new. These cameras are fine and never had anything wrong with them. I've bought a couple without problems. Some refurbs are cameras that actually needed a repair, but they are repaired and certified by the factory to be as good as new and they should come with a warranty. Do not buy a refurb if it is not a "factory refurb" item. Although a refurb should come with a 90-day or 1 year manufacturer's warranty, you can buy third party warranty for 5 years for about $40-50. (You can do this for new equipment, also.) This may not be a bad idea if you are buying an "upscale" refurb. It would still cost a lot less than a new item in most cases.
You can find refurbs at rebutable dealers on eBay, among other places.

Someone has returned the item because it was defective and the Factory has rebuilt it. or as they say, reconditioned it.

That another buyer returned it for whatever reason, and if it needed repaired "reconditioned" they fixed it and they are re-selling it.

Same as refurbished. Means it was sent back to the factory faulty and they repaired it and re-packaged it to sell as new.
