Keep your eye on the Canon refurb store. Decent cameras could often be had for as little as $40.
Thanks! Good to know.

Are these covered with amex 2nd year warranty? Does amex even have a way to know that is a refurbished?

IIRC this was discussed elsewhere and the conclusion was that it's covered. Maybe check the Amex warranty thread.

Small arbitrage opportunity on Amazon (for a GC). $221 for trade in.

Refurbished doesn't matter, doubles the warranty either way.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Camera is not as good

Something Fishy, can you clarify what about the T5i makes it a significantly better camera than the SL1?

Based on what I see on snapsort's comparison, the major factors that are in it between the two (that would be very significantly relevant to most people) are that the SL1 is much lighter (about 30% 407g vs 580g) but the T5i has a flip out screen which could be handy for lots of people. Most everything else seems to be relatively close

What is it that makes the T5i a hands-down better camera than the SL1 in your expert opinion?
(Is the autofocus system on the T5i that much better in real-world performance?)

A while back I called canon to ask them what it means refurbished. They assured me the cameras were new and that it was just listed under refurbished because it can also mean they are just trying to get rid of what they have for newer shipments. CMIIW

GoPro Hero4 Black is on sale at B&H for $399 and it comes with additional $40 B&H GC, so effective cost is $359. Amazon has it for $399 without any GCs.

Now for the Nikon guys:

New:

Nikon 1 S2 mirrorless camera in red with 11-27.5mm lens for $169. Think of this camera as better-than-a-P&S-quality at DLSR focusing speeds. The quality will not be like a Sony mirrorless, but still much better than a regualar point and shoot. Focusing-wise it’s the fastest mirrorless, period. This is a great camera for shooting kids.

Refurb: 

Nikon D3200 body only for $245

Nikon D3200 camera with 18-55mm lens for $299

Nikon D3300 camera with 18-55mm lens for $319

18-140mm lens for $210

This is considered a pretty good price for a pretty good DSLR, correct? This would be a good starter camera for a beginner, correct?

Absolutely. Although for another $20 getting the second lens is a no-brainer (see the last deal in my post).

Actually the one with the 75-300 lens has a 1 year warranty for both included, whereas the other doesn't, but the other one has accessories included (battery, charger, strap, cable)
