p.1 #1 · Does Sony sell Refurbished models directly to the public?

One thing I had always loved about Canon is that their website has a refurbished website where you can buy refurbished models right off the website. I lost count a long time ago on the number of cameras, lenses, and equipment I bought this way, which came w/ a one year warranty, just like new products. I never had a problem with this gear either.

I can't find a site on the Sony website very easily and I'm wondering if Sony has a camera refurbished website anywhere? I typed it in google and it appears that perhaps B&H and Adorama sell refurbished Sony gear, but then there's a markup.

Anyone know if Sony has a site where you can get Sony refurbished gear directly from Sony?
Thanks.

Don't think there is anything like Canon's refurb program. I used to love it, esp when they had the sale on refurb gear! I'm still getting alerts from Canonpricewatch.

Sony Certified Refurb's available through Amazon, & perhaps "other" sites:

Apparently only a 90 day Warranty, unlike Canon's full year.

I couldn't link the Amazon page, but type "Sony Refurbished" into Amazon's "Search", or Google.

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Alpha-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera/dp/B06WPB5D2N/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1515164525&sr=8-8&keywords=sony+camera+refurbished

Not much of a Savings for loosing 75% of the Warranty.

This rates the warranty as being worth little more than 50$

They used to when they had direct sales. Not much of a bargain though. They closed (web)shops.
