I wouldn't consider it as a great deal. With the same amount of money, you can find a brand new camrera with 18-55 mm lense in amazone or ebay. I have found one in amazone, check that out. Below if the link. Good luck,   http://www.amazon.com/Canon-T1...

 Oh, if it's refurbished by Canon itself than yes, it might as well be a good deal. I though you're probably thinking about buying from some presonal seller or somebody.

 from personal experience, i can say that refurbished products sold by amazon's own store or buy.com are close to brand new, go for it if you feel like that's the right camera for you.
