2 kodak p880 ?? flash and refurbished opinions

I am going to buy this camera- do I need to buy a separate flash for it? Any other things I need?
Also, what do you all think of refurbished cameras? The refurbished is about $32 cheaper. I can't decide if it's worth it.
Thanks

Refurbished cameras are an excellent idea. Often times they are brand new cameras which have been returned and can't, by law, be sold as new again. And if they are refurbished, they are brought back up to brand new and have an original factory warranty to boot. It's a good option for someone who's looking to save money.

As for a separate flash, the range of the built in flash is guide 1.6â13 ft (0.5â4.0 m), tele: 1.6â10 ft (0.5â3.1 m) at ISO 100. If you don't forsee shooting flash pictures beyond that, you don't really have an immediate need for one. But if you want to move beyond the snapshot flash thing and try bouncing and diffusing flash for shots, then that's when you'll want to pick up a separate flash.

As long as it has a warranty, refurbished is all good. My advice is not to buy ANY camera (refurbished or new) that doesn't have a warranty. As James said, refurb-ed are typically good as new (or ARE new but can't be sold as new) and so the potential for problems with them just because they're refurb-ed is very low. But digital cameras as a whole often have issues when they come out of the box, it's a fact of technology. So definitely get the warranty and consider it 32 bucks well saved.
