Condition grades found here

Good, Acceptable, Partially Defective, and Defective. Because the lens is permanently attached, we check it here as well – unlike with cameras that have interchangeable lenses.

What the grades mean exactly can be found under Condition of digital cameras. You can find the overview of all product types under Item condition.
