Excuse me, how to identify the licensed, parallel import, and refurbished goods of Canon camera 500D

If this is really fake, it is difficult to identify without comparison, but there are generally not many frauds, and the most likely thing is to repackage parallel goods as licensed goods, and they will generally brush off the serial number. A friend of mine encountered a time, Canon 5D, used it for a year, and found that the real serial number was completely different from the serial number pasted above, and finally, the business refunded the full amount, and added some money to buy 5D Markii.

Generally, there is no refurbished goods, and high-tech things such as cameras are not so easy to refurbish, but second-hand ones may be refurbished, and new goods are at most just a matter of water, or some people sell them as brand new.

There is no difference between the water, the difference is only the warranty, the licensed goods are the national joint warranty, and the parallel goods are the store warranty. General packaging box, warranty card can be seen on the line water, licensed goods are Chinese Simplified, Hong Kong Bank is generally Chinese Traditional, others may be English.

It is recommended that you try to buy licensed goods for 500d entry-level machines, if you are not familiar with it, you can buy this **, the reputation is very good, support mail order, the disadvantage is that it is slightly expensive, but VIP increases the one-year warranty.

Upstairs said yes, Hong Kong, basically equal to parallel goods. . .

Camera, look at the brand, Canon Nikon generally buys licensed goods, the channels are relatively open, and low-end things are not easy to cause problems if they are not well made. Pentax and Oba are more cost-effective to buy parallel goods, and the workmanship of low-grade machines is also solid, the probability of problems is small, and many reputable stores have good store protection.

Call the customer service center directly**Ask the outside of the box is coded on the official website, and you can also query it directly.

There is no way, you can only see if the person who sold it to you can afford your after-sales.

Licensed goods are for parallel goods. The serial number of the licensed box, warranty card, and fuselage is the same, and the text is all Chinese Simplified, the manual is printed fine and formal, and the merchant needs to issue a formal invoice (receipts are also OK, mainly based on future warranty). That's licensed.

There are many kinds of parallel goods, but they are not fakes, mainly Canon products sold in other countries and regions, not for Chinese mainland sales, can not enjoy Canon's joint warranty service in China, can only enjoy the after-sales service provided by the selling machine store, such as Hong Kong version, European version, Taiwan version and so on. (In fact, after-sales does not matter, because during the warranty period, 99% of the machines are no problem, after the warranty period, whether it is licensed or parallel goods are the same charges).

In short, the quality of licensed goods and parallel goods is the same, but the after-sales service is not the same, and the parallel goods are lower (about three or four hundred yuan lower).

When buying a machine, the store will usually tell you which is licensed and which is parallel because they make money no matter what kind of machine they sell.

The blackest stores will sell the refurbished old machine as parallel goods (they can't and dare not sell them as licensed goods), and from this point of view, it is still safe to buy licensed goods.

SLR is not a copycat, when invoicing, he is forced to write the word "licensed", and the serial number is indicated, even if it is found out to be water later, you also have evidence to find him.

The cottage can't afford to build this. Issuing formal invoices is generally licensed.

That,1500 yuan is really not credible.,Now the second-hand should be around 3000.,I haven't seen the hummingbird for a long time.,No concept.。 Parallel imports are also impossible.

Yuan's 550D,Look at the color,Look at the number of shutters,Look at the supporting equipment (large such as lenses、Tripods,Small ones such as UV mirrors or something),There is a possibility of low price if you pull the head (but it is generally a turn sleeve,If it's not a sleeve,2K you pay attention),But that**It's really a bit suspicious,This year I bought a second-hand 400D+28-105 lens and it also cost 2200.The suggestion is that it is best to go to see the machine in person, you can take the expert with you, if not, think more, don't be greedy.

3.The number of shutters, in my own words, is that the shutter life of a SLR, in order to obtain continuous consumer purchasing power, merchants will set the limit of the shutter, about 100,000 times, to this value seems to be unable to press, at this time the rescue method is to flash the machine, find an expert to break the mechanism inside, you can continue to use, but it feels like it is not as good as before, and there will be occasional problems (the second half is a photojournalist told me, for reference only). The shutter number appears to be viewed with software.

The basic reliability point of the Yuan-level SLR belongs to the machine that has been out of production for a long time, such as 400D, 450D, in other words, LZ wants to buy 550D, the budget is too small, and I am not ready to burn the consciousness of burning money.

5.Finally, add another suggestion as an end: it is best to find a person who changes hands when buying second-hand, not a store, the former is good for their own machine care, and the quality of the transfer is also high, and the latter is an acquisition of the transfer, and there are many more means than you, and you are a little more tender.

Fake, cheap and not good, don't buy it

Parallel goods are not so cheap, second-hand or fake.

Second-hand Canon 550d, bought in June last year, 2000 for you, the price is acceptable, but to see how many shutter times are, the number of shutters in more than a year should only be a few thousand, don't buy it after 1w, in addition, Canon 550d1500 yuan parallel goods are also impossible.

Impossible, there must be a problem with the machine, even if the SLR machine is second-hand**, there is no less than 2500-3000, it is not recommended to buy, unless the one is in urgent need of money,
