I'm stuck between two choices.
I would like to purchase either an untouched new camera off Amazon (a Canon T6i with only the 15-55mm kit lens $700) or a refurbished one from the Canon website (a Canon T6i with the 15-55mm kit lens and 55-250mm lens $560).
Should I take the risk of buying the refurbished camera? Is it worth the saving of $140 and getting a 55-250mm lens with it for a used one that could have potential malfunctions? (I'm inexperienced at buying cameras - as it will be my first). Or is it best to get a new one for $700?
