I've been relying on Freestyle since I first set foot in the store back in 1972 when I was a HS student from the San Fernando Valley of CA, taking Photo 101 and Journalism class where I was a photographer and cartoonist.
My parents bought me a brand new Minolta SRT-101 and later a Mamiya C33 to further my photographic endeavors.
That Minolta suffered, within 8-months, stripped plastic advance gears twice. Finally, someone came up with metal gearing and a serious design flaw was corrected.
A refurbished camera will have all issues corrected, including new foam seals and in the case of a Canon AE-series body the shutter magnet cleaned and the body properly lubed and tested.
I trust Freestyle to sell something they will stand behind.
Course, they're only as good as who's supplying the "refurbished" cameras...
