Pretty good price.

You could probably use the Canon Loyalty Program to get 10-20% off. That probably won't stack with the Slick deals thing, though.

A few things to note about this model:

This lens is not great. Just about all the other EF-M series lenses are. If you buy the camera and only use the kit lens, expect pictures about on part with a really nice camera phone. To get to the camera's potential, you need good lenses. The 32mm F1.4 will blow your mind it is so sharp and has so much contrast. Even pictures taken under overcast conditions have good colors. The 22mm Pancake and the 11-22mm Zoom are also solid choices.

This camera is small. That's what it does. If you want something comfortable for Sasquatch hands, this is not your camera.

This camera doesn't have a microphone input or hot shoe. If you dream of producing quality video, this not the ideal setup unless you go for an external recorder.

Canon Refurbs have a reputation of really being "Like New." That has also been my experience.
Other points that hasn't been listed.

This has an APS-C size sensor, which is the same size as most DSL-R cameras that are not full frame. It's a pretty small camera considering the sensor size, probably one of the smallest APS-C cameras available. Bigger sensor= more light in, better pictures especially in low light. It used to be that cameras this size would have the slightly smaller 4/3 size sensor or the really smaller 1.0 inch sensor.

With that said, if the size doesn't appeal to you, there are better options, but this price is hard to beat.

If the size is not important and you are only using it mainly for stills, then I would rather get a non full frame Canon DSLR since the lens adapter for this is over half the price of the camera. Much more flexibility in the long run. Movies will not be as good though.

Once you get a lens adapter for this and Canon APS-C zoom lenses, you would lose much of the size advantage.

Solid deal. I paid $350 for a used m200 and kit lens about 2 months ago.

From the little reading, I did about this camera 📷, I did not see a way to change this from shooting on automatic. Professional photographer use cameras set to full manual so you can set the Exposure, Shutter, ISO.

Are you sure? That seems nuts. Even Canon's point and shoots can do manual.

Is this a good camera to use for Zoom meetings and the like, assuming you pair with a nice fast lens? I'm not sure how overheating or clean HDMI out are in this

This is an often-used camera for streaming and good for your use case. It can output clean HDMI. Look into getting a dummy battery so you can plug in without needing to constantly monitor the charge.

If you decide on this camera, or any other Canon mirrorless, I highly recommend a lens adapter. Even a cheap third party adapter is worth using. The Canon EF-M mount can be limited in selection availability; an adapter vastly expands the lens choices.

This is basically the same sensor as the M50 which is highly regarded by vloggers. As others noted, there isn't any sort of microphone input so you are stuck with the so-so built in microphone. Great for the price but there will be limitations. Still not bad for dipping your feet into mirrorless photography.
