Canon Loyalty Program - FAQ's

I got my 7D with a film camera, as so with quite a few others on here also. Look through the previous posts and you will find some saying Canon does take film camera for their CLP. When it first started ppl claim only digital but I haven't heard anyone saying they got rejected for using a film camera for the program.

So I have heard some say film cameras work, some say they don't. I might be able to get my hands on an old film rebel... But before I do that, I wanna know if film would work or not guaranteed for the CLP ...or at least whats the chances of getting someone there that will take a film camera

well i got my hands on a broken camera now just need to mk2 to come back in stock fingers crossed i get one...finally going to take the leap to full frame. Should be a nice addition to my 1dmk2 and 40d...

I used a film p&s camera...was never asked s/n either

They showed as in stock, like 4 hours ago, as refurbs on the canon direct site. I don't know how that relates to how many they use for CLP, but I've been watching them go in and out of stock, on the direct store, in a matter of hours over the last couple of weeks.

dang just missed um they had some in earlier and gone already gave my name to another guy so hopefully between the two of them i will finally get my hands on the camera i have been after for so long i was just about to jump on a used 5dc but for what the d2 are at can't go wrong

do the film cameras have to be broken? i have a elan 7 sitting around but its still in working condition. do you think i can trade it in?

I think it is suppose to be broken. The Elan 7 is a pretty nice camera, if I were you I'd keep it since it's still working and just buy a broken one off Ebay. I got a broken sd450 off Ebay for $11.00 shipped.

Thats true. I should keep it. I've only shot a couple of rolls of film on it though. Will look into getting a broken camera.

The 5D Mark II really isn't *that* rare anymore.
I've seen it In-Stock multiple times, and I'm not even trying to get it.

This will likely spell disaster for those trying to sell theirs on the used market...

Sir, may I inquire as to why you have called me "Ryan?"
I am not he.

Sorry about that, I confused you for another member!

Did your 50D come in yet?

Monday is the anticipated time of arrival. (My brother also ordered one when I did. We grabbed the last two Canon had. :lol

Anyway, I will be reporting back to this thread with my initial impressions of *both* cameras when they arrive. I hope all is well.

Gah! So you can only order *one* lens and *one* speedlight with the purchase of any refurbished body?

That's so unfortunate.

When I bought my refurb 5Dii a couple of weeks ago, I was allowed to purchase two lenses and a speedlight at the 20% discount rate. Unfortunately they were out of stock on the 70-200 f/2.8L II, so I had to content myself with a 17-40 f/4L and 85 1.8.

Wait they gave you 20% off on all items.... So lenses, body and flash were all at 20% off refurb pricing???

Yup. Total cost for all 4 items after discount was $2,389.75.

Nice I'm going to have to do that soon then...
