CPS, How do I get approved?

[dito]

I am a full time , professional CANON photgrapher. How do I apply/sign up for the Canon Pro Service?

In UK, you need to have 2 pro bodies(10D and 20D are considered as pro bodies) and 3 L glasses before you can apply, give them your work history, they'll decide your membership :D

In Poland even if you are PRO and have enough PRO equipment they do not want to give you CPS,
Strange but still true ...

Same here (Slovenia). But from that what I heard it's not that they wouldn't want us. They just can't provide all services so they don't have real CPS. But luckly Canon Slovenia is doing good job so it's not that bad even without CPS. :)

Ok, I have more than 2 bodies and 3 L lenses, but where do I send my information to? Or where do I apply?

Try this, not sure if it applies to your region, hopefully you'll find correct info and go from there.

Send me an email, jimmy@motorsportsimaging.com and I will send you all the forms and contact info you need for cps.

In the US, they do not have an equipment requirement, though they do ask what you have, but they have a well outlined set of requirements you have to meet. If you are a working pro you will not have a problem meeting them, if you are not a working pro, you will not meet them. They have different requirements as to whether you are a freelancer, staff shooter, etc.

I'll send you all the info via word documents if you send me an email.
