Default Refurbed Camera from B&H
What's your opinion on buying this camera refurbished from B&H

Used Nikon D3000 SLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens 25462 -

I'm tempted to buy it since it has the factory 90 day warranty but I don't know if it comes with the original accessories.

That lens is good for a kit lens. However, it sometimes has problems zooming. Mine is out for service and who knows whether it will cost more than the lens?

Check Nikon's website, they are selling refurbished online and it might be cheaper.

I did. They don't have it on their unfortunately, but they say they repackege refurbished cameras with the original gear so I don't know if I should take the risk and get it since I dont know if they repackage it when they send it to to verified retailers. I emailed them but they are closed for some reason. Adorama has it for a little bit more, but B&H's shipping if faster and the camera costs less.

I bought my d5000 refurb from B&H. Great service, and the camera came in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend, especially with the great prices ++

Yep, everything original except a genuine lenscap as far as I can tell. Video cables, chargers, manuals, new battery, even the viewfinder cover.

Thank you! Did B&H just ship their own lenscap with it?

I'm leaning towards getting it now

FWIW I bought my kid a refurbished Nikon dslr & lens. I would not have done so if I had any doubts about the wisdom of doing so.
