I bought my D5100 refurb from Cameta because they were the only one I found that had a full one year warranty. There prices seem to be in line with all the others. I later bought a 18-105 refurb from them also. I would not go anywhere else to buy a refurb again.
I have been extremely happy with their products and service.

Nikon is out-of-stock...
Check back regularly. They were OOS for weeks with D600s, then I checked and they had 'em.
Where ever you buy it, buy it with a Discover card that will automatically double your original manufacturer's warranty for up to 1 yr. It will turn your 1 yr warranty into a 2 yr warranty w/o costing you a cent. You will need to keep all your documents and proof you used a Discover card. They will ask you to fill out a paper and submit your proof but it's not all that painful compared to paying to what it might cost if you didn't have the additional warranty.
Are all bodies sent back to Nikon for refurbishing or are they done locally?
Do people still use Discover card?

I went to the Nikon site and looked at the refurbs but could not find any mention on warranty. Does anyone know what warranty they offer?
90 days

I use my card for nearly everything. Heck, I even pay my electric bill with it. Then I use the cash back to feed my Amazon addiction. Works like a charm!!

I will stick with Cameta then since they have a one year warranty and cost less. Especially since Nikon does the refurb anyway.
I do the exact same thing with my Amex. Most of my bills (cable, wireless, etc) get paid by Amex and I just pay one vendor at the end of the payment cycle. Using the rewards points is an added bonus. Extending the warranty by a year is awesome. I've only had to use it once. I called them and told them about the product and what had happened. They just refunded the original cost of the device and that was the end of that.

Just bought a D7000 refurb from Cameta and am very pleased with it. As everyone has suggested they have a years warranty and prices are reasonable.

I like your tag line. I feel that way quite often.
