5 Reasons Why Now is the Time to Invest in a Canon Camera

Rarely do we focus an entire roundup on a single brand — but then again, rarely does one company release five amazing Editor's Choice deals on the same day. But the folks at Canon are proving our belief that factory-refurbished electronics provide some of the best deals around, with digital camera sales to fit any budget. All of these models come with a 1-year warranty from Canon itself, and as we've mentioned before, the manufacturer is one of the most reliable brands out there for refurbished goods.
