Canon buy back program

[TsQ]

Hmm good idea. I guess I will go down later.

pls let me know the result.. as i also want to say the same thing about my old IXUS when i decide to get a new camera from them ;p ;p ;p

Hi Guys, I tried to call them today. They told me that what they practice is that the camera has to be deem to be not economical to repair before the scheme is available.
I have an A70, a really old camera but it is still functioning. So I guess I cant do the trade up?

Please advise.

Let your camera drink some water first before u send them
lo ......

:thumbsup: a sure way to murder ur cam!!! :bsmilie:

sometimes when u call them, what they say is OFFICIAL so they will be very careful..

as i mentioned, all companies (HP, DELL etc) hv these programs .. when ur item is not feasible to repair, they offer u a cheap alternative to buy their latest one.. why they do this? Since u already there, they dont want u to go out and buy other competitor product WHILE they like showing u they CARE.. its all marketing and try to top their competitor to be #1 .. i get these offer whenver my printer spoil from HP (which is why i am using HP printer all these yrs, they keep on offering me cheaper replacement (as much as 50% off retail) whenever it spoils after warranty.

so ur A70.. its working..so u can simply just tell them it shut off all the time.. (something that they cannot really prove while ur 10 or 15 mins in CSC) .. what can they do? they also wont bother go investigate further as its a waste of time...

side track a bit..

Side track how much??????

 

[mclicks77]

Indenting to get G11 when its out. $899 less 20% is $720 .. surely cheaper than shops out there. Do you think it will be part of the upgrade program?
Do they allow you to 'upgrade' to the latest model ;p

will canon offer the 7D in this buy back program?

No, all single digit models are excluded such as EOS 5D mk II, 7D and 1-series.

EOS 50D is out of stock for quite some time, so only left with EOS 500D.

Yeah, you can trade in for a 500D.
I think all canon models should be eligible for the trade in.
I brought in a Canon A40 in, it was eligible, so my guess is that anything goes.

 

[kiama]

50D still not available?

...this thread should be sticky

 

[PapaSmurf]

Hi Guys

Just like to check, for those guys that brought the 500D from Canon Service Center is there a free EOS camera bag given?

Thanks

 

[josshing]

no camera bag given, freebie only got - 1 x 8gb card, 1 x lens book
Think those who get it at comex period will get a canon version of crumpler bag.
