Shopper conversation with Eric T. on July 01, 2016

Eric T.
Hello! my name is Eric how can I help?
do you have a camera question?
Hi Eric, I was looking to buy a camera for around $ 500 for my brother.
Eric T.
ok
Could you suggest something?
Eric T.
of course
we have a great nikkon deal going right now
how does that camera look?
This one is refurbished.. wouldn't that be a problem?
I mean.. what if it doesnot work well?
Eric T.
Refurbished just means repaired to be like new, they are guarnteed to work and come with the same warranty
okay!
Eric T.
if you want something new we can find that too :-)
I would definitely appreciate some options.

a little more expensive ubt it comes with a case and storage which is great
about the same quality of camera as the nikkon
okay! I honestly have no idea about cameras.
Which one would you personally suggest is better?
Eric T.
well that depends on a few things.
what are you planning to use it for?
and is video an important feature?
No, video isn't an important feature.
Eric T.
I would reccomend the canon just for the accessories then
very great starter kit
okay... thanks.
Eric T.

That would be it. Thank you.
