Refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 w/1-YR Warranty for $779 [80D w/18-135 for $1079]

Back to the Canon Pumpkin Spice sales we go, where, despite the goofy name for their sale, all these come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and very competitive prices on some items compared to buying them new condition at authorized dealers.

The Canon 80D with the 18-55mm lens currently goes for $1250 at authorized dealers such as Adorama.

But if you buy manufacturer refurbished with a 1-year warranty from the Canon USA Outlet store, you can get the Canon 80D with 18-55mm kit for $779 with free shipping. That’s 38% off the new condition price and you still get the same warranty!

If you don’t want/need the 18-55 kit lens, you can sell, donate, trade, gift or experiment upon the 18-55 lens!

The discount is not as big, but it’s less if you are instead interested in the 80D with 18-135mm kit. It goes for $1500 at authorized dealers versus $1079 at Canon USA Outlet.

Refurbished Nikon D3200 Body Only with 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $250
