I have bought a factory refurbished PM1 (through a US retailer). The first one I received (which was returned) had an issue with the touchscreen and the second had a bad battery terminal (and the retailer refused to refund/exchange a second time - olympus canada would not cover it either because I bought from the US - I ended up paying to have it fixed myself). Both cameras looked like new though. You take your chances on how many shutter releases are on the camera (both the ones that I received had around 400).SWstriker17 wrote: ↑I'm just worried about it being reconditioned...has anyone ever bought reconditioned from Olympus?
I would consider buying refurbished from Olympus Canada though because you'd be able to get warranty work done.
