The HF-G10 camera is excellent and I have used one many times but it does not seem to be in-production any longer. A refurb model can be bought from Canon for $799.
You can get a new HF-G20 for $899 from Adorama. (I've done business with Adorama and you're safe dealing with them.)
Shrug ... I don't see the value in the refurb when you compare them.
Or there's an HF-G10 on eBay currently showing $402. Unknown what happens between now and closing.
Update: I don't follow eBay but I thought I'd check the close price on the above. Final was $513 which is a pretty good price. It's not an excellent price as that would include maybe a mike and / or light for say $450. I'd consider that an excellent price and would not go much higher.
Other than dropping an HF-G10, it would be tough to break it. Even so, I would be leery of getting any camera used. Your call.
Who knows, maybe you're a shopper this season. I do a lot of video and the HF-G10 is a good HD cam at a price that doesn't take you into the stratospheric costs of the ultimate cams. I've used one a lot and will again the next time I shoot a video.
