Canon Loyalty Program - FAQ's

Dingbat Shutterbug wrote in post #14462542
I'm upgrading from my 450D to a 7D using the Loyalty Program. A friend donated an old powershot he hasn't used in years to my cause, but it's not broken, and he didn't give me a battery. So if the camera were somehow to make its way into a bucket of water, I have no way of knowing if it's really broken. Suggestions?

They didn't even ask me what was wrong with my camera. They just asked for the model and serial number. I doubt they check since they recycle the cameras.

Yeah, I went ahead and placed my order, and it sounds like they just have you ship it straight to the disposal facility. Guess I don't have to worry about it.

It was the same nearly two years ago when I got my 7D through the CLP. It depends which CSR person you get regarding the questions they ask.

Still waiting for the 70-200 to come in.

Placed an order for a MKII last Tuesday, and recieved it today! Looks brand new with 167 shutter count

Just called (22 May '12 at 7:32 central), and out of stock 5D2 Rep was nice enough and took my info for hopefully a phone call when more come in - I just hope I can actually GET the call, as I work in a building without reception and I didn't want to give a work number (military).

Also said 24-105 was in stock for CLP, about "half a dozen."

Also, interestingly, said one could purchase "multiple lenses" with a camera body. I'm not sure if he meant there are multiple to choose from, or that one body could mean more than one lens bought.

So yeah, I'm looking to switch back to Canon (currently running an A77). Not to fault the Sony, but I'm missing FF DoF control and Canon's LV implementation is better IMO than Nikon's (and frankly so is their lens lineup).

Here's to getting lucky, hopefully soon

Holy crap where have i been...Didn't know the 5DII is now in CLP. Also didn't know you can add a refurb lens as well... Ahhh....

... and refurb flash.

I would've ordered my 60D through them tonight, but they dont accept paypal If I dont find a good used one today, I'm going to transfer the money to my bank and order one over the weekend.

... and a second (different) lens. Although maybe not all Canon reps are allowing that.

Yup, you can buy a body, 2 lenses and a flash all at 20% off... Only certain lenses are on the program how ever.

Fedex just handed me my T2i kit and NiftyFifty from CLP. Totally painless process on the phone and wasn't sent to techs for broken camera diagnosis. Just jumped into pricing and availability from the beginning.

T2i body looks brand new, EOSCount says 1845. $565.62 (w/GA tax) for the two items. Very happy!

My 5d mark ii and 50mm 1.4 was delivered this morning to my local fedex store. might have to go pick it up during lunch ;]

And I am sure that lunch you are going to eat is not going to agree with your stomach!
