I’m in the market for a good entry level DSLR. The issue is that many dealers in India sell cameras without manufacturer warranty. This puts a question mark on the quality/legality of the product and I don’t want to get ripped off buying a refurbished product. There’s nothing that will help me avoid buying a used product but I know that refurbished products have certain identification marks. If I get to know what these are at least I will be able to avoid buying such products.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

They are usually packaged in a plain, white box instead of the graphic filled retail package. They also package kit lenses in similar boxes but they usually say something about not being for individual sale and being part of a kit. Refurbs either say refurb or remanufactured or are competely plain on the boxes exterior.

Just ask the seller. Have it put in writing that the camera is not refurbished and has a manufacturer’s warranty that is honored in your country. If the seller hesitates or trys to verbally assure you that the camera isn’t refurbished then go to another seller.
sometimes they put a black dot inside the battery compartment
they usually have a sticker on them – but that can easily be taken off
