What is refurbished?

FUJIFILM, like some other camera manufacturers, offers the option to buy refurbished cameras at reduced price). But what exactly is a refurbished camera and can you expect a good example in return? Now and then, limited quantities of cameras are returned to manufacturers from retailers and it’s these models that trained technicians extensively inspect and test before they’re sold on. Refurbished products may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections but these in no way impair operation. There are some great savings to be made choosing a refurbished camera and in the case of my X100V I picked one up in as good as new condition and saved £250 on the guide price. Fujifilm refurbished products come with the same contents as a brand new product, including a 12-month warranty covering any failure that occurs due to a manufacturing defect, which is the same warranty as buying new.
