Yeah.. that time when Canon announced new products, USA website had it first before SG. SG have to wait quite a while. Even then, not very complete.

what you mean never update? The first post I made is taken from there what...

Like that ah?

Because from my POV, a consumer paid $100+ to upgrade or replace the components for their affected camera. But now there's an announcement saying that they can get it replaced for free. This would be unfair to those who have paid earlier on. Therefore, refunds would be a good to have thing for those who have paid $100+ for replacement of deffective components. As for those who paid the same amount to upgrade to A95, well I don't think there'll be eligible too, because that sum of money is to upgrade to something which wort $500+ from shops.

yeah i fully agree with u. i was one of those who got the $140 upgrade to A95. i think i wld be unreasonable if i wanted to get my cash back. i have no intention to at all.

but i feel for those who paid $140 to change CCD. they pay $140, no upgrade, just change CCD only. dunno if canon will refund them

The only notices I see in canon sg website are:

1. Power Cord
2. Counterfeit Batteries

The notice comes from Canon Asia

Pls post here if you have send your camera for free repair.

According to my friend who has sent his IXUS II for the repair earlier (about $200), after calling up CANON today, he was told that he may want to fill up a form to request for a refund. Whether he gets the refund or not, that remains to be seen.

I was quote that amount too, it's almost half the price of the camera, so I ended up buying a new camera.

No one send their cam for repair yet?

So far so good for my A75

 

[Octopuz]

I have sent my A70 for repair...
Need to wait for about 1week... ;p

 

[rinaldi86]

So far so good for my A75

Wonder if you can just go there and get it done as preventive measures?

Unless if there is problem with the camera then they will repair for you.

 

[rinaldi86]

Oh okay.

Yep... just sent my long dead A70 for the free repair at their Harbourfront office... requested to pick it up at the Funan gallery and the lady agreed. Will take a week or so. While waiting to be served, I helped myself to the free cappuccino at their coffee dispenser .. not top quality stuff but free wat

Canon still Can lah... of my Canon cameras, my old A40 and Pro 90 as well as my even older 35mm EOS systems (620 circa 1987, 5QD circa 1993) and AE-1 plus daddy's old hand-me-down EE-1 continue to work well... and I have a new toy to play with anyway .
