Good catch Paul. I don't know if I would've caught that, being a Nikon guy for 40 years until I became a Canon convert three years ago. 
Looks like Nikon is giving up!
Nervoustwo: I think the adapter would have to be on the guy's eyeball as the camera AND the lens are Canon.

The fine print tells us just about everything we need to know.

I'd feel better about this UHH community member if he'd removed the tripod collar for hand holding ...

Perhaps I’m slow at the starter’s pistol. For me, I’m very skeptical about refurbished electronics. I’m sure some will swear by ‘em. But I have a jaded eye.

You're over-imagining the process. Reburbished, in the camera industry, is very simply the repackaging and visual inspection of returned stock from retailers or customer returns. There's no economic sense to repair broken equipment and sell as a lower price than the original. There's no economic sense to even functionally test the equipment. It was tested and accepted for sale in the original factory, where the personnel and equipment exists for these functions, in an entirely different country. Nothing significant has happened in the meantime, or it would have come back from the customer via a warranty repair, not a customer return.

I know I've been skeptical too, but I've heard good talk about Nikon refurb, so I bought a refurb Z6ii and a 24-70 f4 Z S lens kit from the recent sale 2 weekends ago direct from Nikon USA - both for $1800 - thought that is a good deal. So far so good. I have to pull a shutter count yet, but everything is in squeaky clean minty new condition. I don't know if it's true, but I heard here and elsewhere Nikon performs more quality tests on refurb than on new equipment. I just wish they included a full year rather than just 90 days warranty, but I knew that going in.

You've heard an internet rumor, that if you think about having to hire qualified personnel to perform those functions, you'd realize that makes no sense.
