@warrior-princess, I would probably steer clear of the international model sold by a 3rd party seller on Amazon. Chances are it won’t have a valid USA warranty, and it’s a bit of a gamble as to whether what you get is actually a legitimate brand new camera. Stick with authorized dealers, and you’ll probably be better off.
If you want to spend the money on a new camera with full warranty and no hassle, my recommendation would be this kit at Adorama: https://www.adorama.com/icat7ka.html
If you do buy renewed, definitely compare prices; there are some much cheaper ones on Amazon than the one you linked to here. 🙂 Not sure I’d recommend “renewed” either though. If I were on a serious budget, then I would buy used from Keh.com (you’ll need to buy a lens separately), which has a 180 day warranty (compared to Amazon’s 90 day).
Happy shopping! Black Friday is not too far off, so I would definitely keep an eye out for sales/coupons that you can take advantage of then. 🙂
