Canon Loyalty Program - FAQ's

Does anyone know how the discounts work for lenses only, no body? Can I do the trade in with a Powershot and get a lens with the discount?

No, you can't just purchase a lens without a body to get the discount. I don't get what's unclear about that in the first post in this thread..

Body must be purchased(CLP) in order to get the lenses at CLP pricing.

First post has been enhanced to clarify the lens question.

My 7d, 24-105 and 70-200 just showed up. Saved over $800 buying all 3!

Got to check out the # of actuations tonight

I think I need to send my Mark 2 back!!! Was shooting a wedding this weekend and the camera FROZE!!! I couldn't adjust the aperture or the shutterspeed! Turned it off, popped out the batteries, and still frozen!!! I kept shooting, praying and after about five minutes, back to normal. The LCD does funny things on mine as well. Boo!!!! Love my Mark 2 though...

Won the lottery. My 5D Mark II has a shutter count of 32!

I can't get eosinfo to show my 7d as being connected. And this is on 2 different pcs with xp. My laptop has windows 7 64-bit and it doesn't want to work on that either. I'll have to try another one.

Any chance this is even remotely accurate?

I think the problem might be that eosinfo will not work on the 7D. Try http://www.eoscount.co​m

From page one (just in case you want to try the linux gphoto2 option for your 7D):

How can I check the shutter count after I receive my refurbished camera? Shutter count for the 40D, 50D, and 5DMII can be determined with EOSinfo. Download the program here: http://astrojargon.net​/EOSInfo.aspx.

If you want the shutter count for a DIGIC III camera (T1i, T2i, T3i, 7D, 60D, or 1DMIV), the shutter count can be obtained by EOSCount located at www.eoscount.com. You will need a 32 bit browser (IE is preferred, but other browsers have workarounds to allow the Active X operation).

There is also an application developed for Linux called gphoto2 that can be used for the 7D (and I assume the other bodies as well). Full instructions for booting Linux on your Windows PC or Laptop can be found on this post: https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=11813682&po​stcount=19

Download site for gphoto2 is located here: http://www.gphoto.org/ Gphoto2 can also be used via openSUSE, Redhat, etc.

MOkoFOko has also posted a step by step tutorial on how to use the Linux emulator on a Windows platform.

5DII in stock as of 5:10PM CST, on the phone right now

edit: got one for 1460 shipped!

Bodies with low shutter count might have been used mainly for videos.

definitely possible.

So the prices listed above. Are they what Canon gives as credit per system turn in? Or are those what the various systems cost to the customer? If so, do those prices already reflect the 20% discount or no? I have a T1-I and might be interested in stepping up to the T3-I or possibly a 60D.

They're the prices. Most people send in broken canon cameras they purchase off ebay for about $10.

O.k., so those are what it will cost to purchase. Do they include the 20% already, or no?

Yes those are the prices with the 20% off. I feel like I'm ruining your day with this bad news. haha.
