Well, it's still a bit hit or miss, I'm afraid. I ordered a refurb 1D from Samy's in LA for a very good price a little while ago. When it came (in the white box), it looked brand new and everything seemed fine. But as it turned out it had the famous banding problems at ISO 400 and higher and several dead pixel. Samy's replaced it with another refurb - same result: Looked brand new but awful banding problems. I finally upgraded to a MarkII. I don't blame Samy's for this, they were very helpful to resolve the problem. But I wonder how it can be possible that a pro camera body leaves Canon as "reburbished" and then has such obvious flaws... Your mileage my vary though.
Cheers,

Now I'm scared... I guess I have to take that chance.. I live 20mins from Canon Canada, so maybe I can take it there... if I have problems.
